Default any possbile way to quad-turbo a c4 L-83-98

i heard about the Sledgehammer vette. pretty cool stuff, my friend has a 1985 C4 with 1200 hp 964 torque, he somehow rigged a quad turbo set up with a Callaway racing body, here's the killer: he said "with the set up he has he can hit 210 mph!!!" i have seen pictures of the car on a site that is down do to server virus. is he telling the truth? can the so called" Black Devil " beat a C6 like he also bragged ? thanks for your time

Umm, im no genius so dont quote me on anything, but it is my belief that the regular C6 coupe only has 400hp. The upgraded suspension means basically squat in the 1/4 if its straight line. So bascially, if you beefed up the bottom end and got h/c and then put on, say for example, a vortech s/c setup and were pushing over 500hp, i think you would be able to wipe the floor with the C6. If you are talking about the C6 Z06, then it might take a little more "uumph" to beat it down the track. As far as the "Quad turbo setup", i wouldnt doubt that it is possible, but it is probably VERY expensive because you cant just put that kind of setup in your car and be "good to go" as the taco bell commercial says. I wouldnt doubt if one of those setups runs anywhere over $20k. But, like i said, im not a genius and im DEFINATELY not a Mech, but i think im pretty close in my assumptions. If i am wrong, can someone please correct me so i know that im wrong for future references and so that im not giving Damon the wrong info.

Completely possible to do, no question. Speed costs money. Your friend must have wheelbarrows full of it!! With the right amount of engineering and cash, you can do this. That'd be quite the car to pilot down to the Safeway store for a bag of hamburger buns, though!
