How much money do you have in this car total to date?

At the begining you said that you had a $1000 or less in the whole build. How did you get the corvette driveline for that?

You have spent a ton of time, nice job on the completion of this project.

Too long for me to read the whole thread but man.. People must trip out when they see you rolling on the street! This reminds me of a scene out of Friday the movie where this chic takes off on Ice Cube in a civic and it sounds like a V8 lol. Awesome swap bro. Ever drive it on the streets?

Man that is crazy!! Kind of funny when you think about a Civic with the heart of a Vette

i don't own a vette or have ever driven one but I just registered to say "Nice job" on the civette. The first time I saw the pic online I thought it was a photoshoped picture but reading thru all 51 pages of your post made a believer out of me.
I don't understand why other people bash you for this build.
this build just proves with cash, time, and skills you can build any car you want. is it such a sin to put an american engine in a japanese car or vice-versa?
so to the haters, just stop!

Civette thanks for your awesome build... it was great reading your post too bad I can't see your car in person, Vancouver's too far
