Reassembled with corvette donor car? uh, whut?

At least it looks clean and has coilovers and a 5 lug conversion. The ad just sucks and they have little idea of what they're talking about.

He probably has a a throttle body spacer and one of those things in the intake that makes it swirl the air like a tornado... Easily 72whp in those two upgrades alone... Lol

Yes! i love bashing craigslist tards. He put 550 because that is what the V2 makes, and he must think that it is a second gen.

In all honesty these postings concern me greatly. I knew America was dumbing down, but for the love of god I had no idea to what extent.

Guess I need to go watch more WWE and catch up. or is it slow down? now I'm confused.

But even a LS7 with exhaust, a CAI, and a tune wouldn't get 550whp. And since its tuned, I'm sure hey have actual numbers

Rebuilt? 45k to replicate? 125k on odo? for 17K...That car is worth 6k. Maybe 10 with a Ls7 in it.

People who have zero automotive knowledge don't even know what wheel horespower is. Your typical car retard only knows crank.

Car isn't even worth 5k being that it has a rebuilt title.

I wouldn't trust that guy with anything.

He makes it up as he goes along.

Man, that thing LOOKS nice... Love the wheels and overall blacked out look. Definitely a scetchy deal though... I'm going to text him for details and see how much funnier this gets.

the wheels actually don't fit the lines of the car at all and are terrible. guaranteed to be a set that a V2 owner would pick out, though.

Nope... Not at the moment, anyway. Don't you? I think that can be said for any of us at any given time we're here on the forums. If there were something "better" to do, I think we'd be doing it... wouldn't we? I know I would.

No response from the seller yet. Curious to hear what's actually in this thing and what the back story might be. Although, it sounds like the seller might not know much of whatever "story" precedes this car...

I think they suit the vehicle well... not perfect, but they don't stand out as ugly to me by any means. I wonder what size those rear tires/wheels are, 'cause if they're Vette rims, wouldn't they be significantly wider than what we can stuff into a lowered rear wheel well? Lots of things about this have peaked my interest. Seller is texting with me now, even though I explained that I'm asking more out of interest's sake than any potential of buying it. We shall see what kind of scam this is or isn't...

the wheels seem to be niche targa m130. the pictures don't really help me figure out the size of the wheels or the tires, though.

they make them in 19x8.5/9.5/10 and 20x8.5/10/10x5.
