Today, the vehicle houses a powerful Lingenfelter Performance 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine taken from a Grand Sport Corvette, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Noteworthy mechanical upgrades include a driveline from a 2013 Corvette, 6-piston Baer brakes, a custom lower air dam, and a dual-mode exhaust.
