dont know what to do

If you had unlimited cash I's say a Solstice or a Sky. Try to find a 90's Tacoma. That'd be a little different.

Build it into a motorcycle. That would be cool.

so your lookin for a car less than $1000 to stuff it in?

yah, ive went way past my intended budget on my s10, i wanted to try something different. like lets see how little i can spend and still go fast with good gas milage. the chevette thing did pass my mind, but theyre so ugly. the tacoma thing would be neet, i was thinking as i walked around the junkyard today an older bmw 535i. i just dont know how heavy they are. or a nissan hard body. i doubt i could find one cheap, but a nissan s14. now that would be cool. my ultimate goal is 10's in the 1/4 under 5g's. ive seen an 04 gto with a twin turbo setup and a tune go really low 11's high 10's (stock motor/t56) thats a 4000 lbs car. same setup 2500-3000 lbs. 10s are possible. just gotta find something light.

ugly chevette = sleeper i went to school with a guy that had a semi built 4.3 in it man that thing went like a raped ape

any vehicle that originally didnt have a v8, yet rumbles with the heart of eight cylinders, will never be a sleeper...unless of course you never start it....or your audience is complete idiots.

the ls1 civic has been built. it doesnt run all that well either

are you talking about the civette? that is essentally a c5 corvette under a civic. if i were to do it it would have a solid axle rear end with a triangulated 4 link. the engine/tranny would be where it supposed to be, not halfway under the windshield and dash. all that car is, is a corvette with a narrower wheelbase. gotta give the guy props though. getting low 12's for around $2000 and be able to get in it and drive anywhere. c5's have horrible traction issues anyways and i see no difference in the civette. but imangine being at a local car gathering and this unassuming black civic coupe pulls up, with a cammed and probably turbo'ed ls1 lurking under the hood. that would be cool.

theres more then 2k of money in that car. ls1s are halfway under windshields themselves in fbodys

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. now if i drove right by them it was obvious. but for the most part my truck didnt get that much attention, till i started hazing the tires from a 70 mph role and was walking away from whoever i was racing (usually cobras).
