he originally payed less than $1000 for both cars. alot of trading was involved to keep the cost down. yes on f-bodies the engine is halfway under the windshield. i dont like that. i like working on the engines and having them under the hood is easier, instead of building it like a van.Quote:

I have never heard a stock v8 vehicle that didnt sound like a stock v8 vehicle. Just never convince me that a v8 conversion will ever be sleeper status in a non v8 vehicle. My lil bro stuck a 40 series and single 3" no cat on his 5.3 and I swear, its the quietest (at idle) damn vehicle I have ever heard, I think its quieter than stock, believe it or not but even then, you know its a v8.Quote:

proves my theory, think this falls in the, they were idiots catagory. :DQuote:
idk, back when i was running stock wheels and had a bed cover over the fuel cell and battery. i had 3" 40 series flowmasters dueled. poeple would be looking around to see where the sound was coming from.

i do agree it is cool, probably one of the coolest cars i have ever seen. ill look to see if i can find one. its up there. on the sleeper thing, its true, id even point it out to my friends when they road with me. say i was sitting at a light and someone was pumping gas at a gas station on the corner. id see them looking around looking for an older muscle car or something other than a s10. then my light turned green and i took off, then they realized all the noise was coming from me. then word got around and it wasnt a sleeper anymore. people knew.
The solstice/sky have solid motors allready, more than capable of 500 at the wheels with a bit of work, IMHO that would be a waste of money.Quote:

True, Only reason the sky/solstice came to mind was cause I was lookin at some online with LS7's dropped in. Maybe a Datsun 240?
Alfa Romeo Spyder, call it the black widow
maybe an MG or a triumph or something, if it'd fit
i actually can get a triumph for free, my grandpa asked if i wanted it. but i dont think it would fit. thats a really tiny car. but its not gunna stop me from taking measurements to see if it would fit.Quote:
