i wont argue that. it came down to a miata or this porsche when. a porshe is not a vette and probably not a fair comparison so dont take me wrong guys i know this is a different experience. just understand i'm curious, excited, and just gleaning info. again i do appreciate all the input and the people who have not unsubscribed lo... i mean ha ha
ok so attached is the car i'm building right now. i'm actually building two of them one for me and one for my brother. mine is a 383 lt1 bolted to a boxster s trans. the other is a 5.3 lq9 twin turbo bolted to an audi 5hp. mine should be around 500hp and the 5.3 will be around 800hp. they will weigh about 2200lbs and stand at 40" tall with a 105 wheel base. they ARE NOT replicas or built on donor cars. i am building my own frames, and my own body. the closest car i can see that looks similar would be a noble.
the other picture is of my current vette. i stripped it down to the frame and redid everything on it. from radiator to rear end. i also cut out my fenders and made a wide body look in the rear. i currently have 305/35/18 on there. i'll post up some pics of my 5.3 twin turbo camaro and a supra pic or two when i fire up my tower pc.
anyway. thanks for reading guys.
