Haha yeh I've seen that done a few times, would make for an interesting offroading car. I thought the funniest part was look how far down the 3.4L is in the bay, I never noticed the mounts being so much lower when they're raised like that.

Not too bad. I might recommend some lower profile tires and maybe a 2 foot drop.

Yea, there's a guy that owns one not too far from me that has about a '90 Camaro with the 4X4 suspension. I think it looks like some mentally challenged guy should probably be driving it but I guess everyone has their own opinion.

I'm trying to imagine sitting in a camaro 3 feet higher off the ground, and how much further ahead you'd have to focus your field of vision to still see the road. 50 feet? 75? That's safe...

Or if you like a luxury two seater, you can always get this car...



I thought about doing this to the '70 Vette I had, since the damn thing wouldn't stay running anyway.

Not if the gearing is right. Of course it will never be a fast car with that engine and suspension/wheel setup.
