Question? Is the chassis able to handle that much power? Didn't see where it was listed but are you using the Civic chassis with a Corvette suspension? If so, you think you can try out a Z06 suspension of the same gen maybe? Man if that thing has LS7 heads and exhaust it be even meaner. You going to add a fiberglass hood and what not or does the current hood fit fine?

Keep up the good work. This is just as great as those LS1 swaps in those Nissan 240Z's.

Huh? How would you use a Corvette(or any cars) suspension on another cars chasis?

Its a Civic HB body on a modified/chopped up C5 Chasis(it fits because the wheelbases are very similar).

It will sure be tricky. The car should have better weight distribution than a Corvette though, so with some serious tires it shouldn't be too terrible.

lol....that thing is hilarious.

I'm a bit concerned about your weight distribution. You are going to need Rosie O'Donnell to sit in the back hatch to get any traction.

Well if we're going to start calling out names. The Camaro is actually Canadian, and that Civic was most probably made here in in states, I'll even go out on a limb and say by a union employee.

As far as it being like an F-Body owner installing a 4 cylinder, that would be highly incorrect. Your analogy is about as correct as saying; a small girl is to a boob job as a big girl is to a boob reduction. When the reference is about girl to boob ratio, going in the reverse is an incorrect and illogical statement.

If you want to bash the guy for his choice of vehicle then so be it you are entitled to your opinion, why don't you start bashing in the conversion section for all the 240sx's and rx7's with ls1's in them.

For someone with a signature such as yours, one would come to the conclusion that you wouldn't come up with a post as unintelligent as yours and expect to be treated with any sort of respect.

Hehe, well obviously you aren't hurting for money hehe. Car insurance alone is more than the redneck makes a year

With your talent and resources I am surprised that you dont have a lift in the garage or do you do most of your work elsewhere? From the pics it seems like you do it in that garage. Pretty amazing

Keep the pics coming
