the WTH thread is back!

Money might buy Corvettes, but it won't buy you driving skills.

This was the street behind my work during the storm that blew through here. Like any old mill town, these buildings are near the river and at the lowest elevation in the city. So, when we get really heavy rain all the water comes downhill via the streets and storm drains and, if it can't get to the river fast enough, it will actually pop manhole covers.

The price bid has gone up to 12k.
Suckers are strong in there....

I just posted this on my wife's FB feed, as a 'Vette is her dream car. I don't think she is going to be amused...

Funny but I'd buy that all day long for $12k for the interior and driveline. Heck you couldn't build that kinda power for $12k

Throw the frame in the trash and find a clean second gen FC3 RX7 to put the entire driveline in.

FD for life!

also keep in mind the vettes have the transmission in the rear and a fixed length torque tube connecting it to the engine. not ideal for swaps if the length isnt perfect. plus all the unique mount points.

would the block still accept a T-56 bell housing? i know nothing of the new LT motors only LS.

and yes an LT1 in an FD would pull a premium for drag wars.
* wheelbase of the FD is 95 inches, C7 is 106.7 inches. not too far off! just about a foot lol

I picked FC to keep it a budget build. FDs are bringing bat shit crazy prices.

HUNNNNNNNNNNNNN



yeah its back to a rotary but it used to have an LS swap.

[hpiguy]

^^Way overdone for my taste.

[JatoTheRipper]

I agree. That RX7 is rightfully in the WTH thread. Gold is gaudy IMO.

[hpiguy]

Gold/bronze works if it’s the right car and wheel combo IMHO.

Blue cars, and some other colors, look good with gold or bronze wheels, but that car had gold paint all over too.

Back in the day when you saw a WRX STi it was bound to be blue with gold wheels.

Needs meds adjusted... mental evaluation should have been required. I understand the cops don't wanna have to continue dealing with that shit so... citation and go... But you act like that for that long and there SHOULD be consequences. Sitting in jail overnight helps to alleviate the "poor me" surface contaminants too.
