Troy Indy Special Mechanical Inspection

Today we're getting the Troy Indy Special prototype up on a lift to give you a better idea of its condition and how it's put together. We've removed the hood and skid plate, revealing the 495 HP GM LS3 engine, TREMEC T56 and Cadillac CTS-V differential.

Why did you 180° flip the thumbnail I was going to give you crap for putting your tires on the wrong way but now I just don’t get it why you make a thumbnail like that?

Best hotrod I've ever seen

[@alancollard8939]

well i like some of the engineering , i like that it must have been inspired by some of a j watsons roadsters of the late50,s , body is beautiful , chassis , i cant see it being stiff enough, also i would have dry sumped it , so you could get the floor pan flat , i would have made the floor pan a structural part as a stressed skin , as that would stiffen the chassis flex in torsion, but these are only my ideas, the workmanship is superb

How do you guys get a car with no fenders street licensed? Are fenders an option (ala Caterham)?

[@SkotiM]

This looks like an awesome car, the only thing I dont understand is the weight. Thats not a criticism, its just oddly heavy for a space frame car, its fantastic looking, like a grown up version of a lotus 7, and probably a lot more comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of the cars my uncle used to race in England in the 60s. From what I can see in the video, the workmanship looks meticulous. Very well done gentlemen.

Is this the same car I saw on Jay Leno's garage show? This is a nice well built and thought out car! So How much? I also like the adapters to use a lift for a low ground clearance car, I might have to do that for my race car.

This was our prototype car that we left in raw aluminum. It is very similar to the black car but optioned out a little different.

[@-Mike-69]

Those hoist adapters are genius. They would save so much time trying to lift a short WB, low car.

[@peterburnham1169]

What an impressive bit of parts sourcing, engineering and fabrication! How is it that a car like this can be street legal without airbags, fenders, and crumple zones. How can exposed hot side pipes be allowed? Is there some sort of an exception made for low production cars? Or maybe it gets delivered (on paper) as a kit or rolling chassis?

Work of art and looks even nicer in person just saw it at Road America... I think it was John we spoke with and he was a pleasure for sure. Nice job guys very nice.

You guys you make a removable aluminum hard top for it, & put a little taller windshield- screen on it. Then the car would be great for all weather & temperatures. To me it's a Chevy version of a Ford Cobra..
