Very early stages of the baddest vette ever

[ironworks]

Well You better get that thing togther, there is a 63 split window going togther with a full carbon body and Prochargered Ls platform, with 18x13 and 18x11 Fikse wheels. It should just tip the scale at just over 2100 lbs. It will have a vette trans axle with C6 suspension. Lots of 4130, aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber.

Sorry no pics.

That LS9 is going to milkshake out of that C4 stuff. That engine can make almost 4 times more power then the engine that came stock in front of that stuff in 1984 when it was introduced. And that Horse power figure is stock Hp to stock HP.

except that is not a transaxle....

ist a C6 IRS with am 8.8 inch center section (unless my eyes decieve me) but the term transaxle describes a rear axle with integral transmission...

but it sure is a nice setup though

Looking at the other picture.. looks like an automatic transmission behind the motor.

like i said (unless my eyes decieve me) its been a while since i looked at an 8.8.. and ive never handled a viper unit.. so you are propably right

Is the owner or builder calling it the "baddest vette ever!!!" or is it just that Chris DeMorro moderator guy on StreetLegal TV website, posting that claim?

I feel bad for the owner or builder when this kind of thing happens...if they are getting trashed up and down for making bold claims when they actually didn't make any claims, at all... Looks like a real nice build.

I was thinking that twinsting is not a real corvette. It's old kit car body isnt it. That tries to use corvette parts. Did it get a real GM VIN. plate.

I'm pretty certain that Shaun's car started life as a legit 63 corvette (original GM body).
