Civette, wow. Just wow. When you asked me to design the logo for you, I looked at this thread and it was only like a page; now it's a monster. I'm happy to see the car come so far along, it looks like it really scoots. I really can't wait to see it after it gets some paint on it. Have you thought about painting it the Atomic Orange the C6 vettes come in? That would definately catch the eye.

GAY!! If you want to make a sleeper put the ls1 into a chevy monza they are cheap to but and cheaper to fix, the motor will drop right in no mods needed as it cam from the factory with an optional 305. Why waste your time with something that isnt going to work.

obviously you can't put a whole vette chassy under that car any easier than you could the chevy...this is not a motor swap. This is the big leagues.

if you dont understand why he did it, then just go back to your simple little world.

what he did is more than a damn motor swap.

Haters. Gotta love em. Kinda hard to read. Looks like you threw a bunch of letters in a blender and poured it out on the screen!
