And you can get the 1800HP upgrade
THIS should be the next C7. The interior can use a little cleaning up, but it's nice all around. Sick power, just sick. And it's an IRS... [IMG]http://i22.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/22/ac/c1c1_3.JPG[/IMG] http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevro ... 53QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks |

Judging those tires, the 200 miles on the engine must have been put on 1/4 mile at a time.

AS cool and powerful as it is....I would rather take the $295K and build 5 of them that are close and have about half the power.....really...who in the hell would need 1800HP?

I'll pass. (probably not with my little '94 tho', even with ABOUT 600hp)
If I had $billion$, I think I'd pass... |

I like the exhaust routing. But I'm not a welder - someone else tell me if those are good "seams" in the bends. If I spent $300,000 on a car I wouldn't want to see that. IMHO.

There was a pretty sweet LS1-powered '73 Vette-rod in the latest Corvette Fever - sounds exactly like what you described. |

LMAO! Upon further review, the '73 isn't exactly pocket change. I saw an ad at the back of the magazine - it's for sale for $123,000. |

I'm not a fan of the back lights. Other than that I like the package from the outside.

One thing that comes to mind... "Merlin"
It does look nice, but a few observations: 1. The dash, mainly the auto shifter, looks like an after thought. 2. An automatic? 3. Yea, the shocks and brakes are iffy at best. Too much power, not enough of each. 4. I also wonder how "setup" that suspension really is. 5. The use EFI and stuck with a conventional distributor. I would have gone a little farther and gone with a coil on plug setup. 6. I bet this bitch runs HOT. 7. The interior needs more colour 8. I would lose that damned "S/S" logo... ick What I like: 1. The hood is tough. It harkens back to the big block hood of that era. 2. I like the stripe work and paint in general. 3. The tail lights are much like aftermarket hot rod bits of the 70s. 4. The assembly looks clean and well done. 5. The rims rock. 6. So do the flares. 7. I love the methanol fill! Way cool. Would I pay money for it? Not $300 large... |
