The fact that the restomod is Joe Rogan's car—which Pure Vision Design commissioned

gives it even more prestige since it indicates that it is a high-end, well polished vehicle

The build, which is possibly one of the most modest full restomod builds out there

[{"selector":"#anim-da170fca-2055-4991-9603-ea5cf399d186 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

and much more complicated than you would ever imagine from the outside

[{"selector":"#anim-b470e3d3-adcb-483a-bbe7-dbe335ae6e3a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

First up, under the hood is a painted, Chevy-orange supercharged LT4 V8, the same

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 meaning it makes a minimum of 650 hp and 650 lb-ft.

GM had a hand in the engine for this particular build, and the team say that they didn’t

[{"selector":"#anim-d03e9a38-34bc-4dd0-ae0b-a7e57f589425 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.248375947189373%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

turn up the boost or make any further changes as the car is powerful enough as it is

[{"selector":"#anim-cbfc433f-53f0-4586-9aa3-3430698196c0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

it’s connected to a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission.

It certainly sounds strong, with a beautiful burble when the car gets turned on throughout
