C5 with F1C
Yea I could see the front end/lip being a problem for daily driving. What are your goals for the car? Track Car, Dragstrip, 1000+ rwhp daily driver?

Well my goal was just to build an extreme toy for myself? Not really a daily driver but gets driven more than average. (4 days a week) There is no drag strip here. So I wanted the styling of a road course car and brute force of a drag car. I retained full weight, and then some, full AC and everything. And on pump gas with no methanol or additional fuel additives. Car still uses a 6 speed.

Yes its an 8 rib kit. I upgraded from Bob. My kit was originally a D1SC kit. Then I added a A&A FMIC kit to it. Then ordered the F1C from Bob as well as the 8rib kit he sells.

Ya it sure is. Kind of eerie feeling too especially when you realize that you havent exactly hooked up yet while shifting into 4th 
Had I to do it all over again I would probably have used a roller fbody. Fbodies can just plant the power better. Not to mention a lot of the stuff is cheaper as well.

Ya. I am loving it. But man I am leaving a lot on the table by using the vette and I will be the first to admit it. Of course the big *** 6 piston pimp brakes in the back doesnt help my wheel and tire selection either. 
no comments for you cause it's a waste of time and i dont want to spoil his thread anymore , but if u have a car i'll race u anytime anywhere , that's IF YOU HAVE A CAR . And if u want to drag race me in bahrain first u have to break ur 13.4 seconds record in the quarter mile , and i was and still the fastest STREET racer in kuwait , and im not gonna reply to any post in this thread .best regards
LOL,Fastest street car in Kuwait??? What are you racing over there,Camel's???
Sorry Dixonk,had to do it. Your car is looking great.
Yea thats my feeling on the whole build. No F-body is going to look as sexy or pimp as your vette, but I have found that an f-body roller is going to be a lot cheaper than a vette roller. Still though when I see a car like yours it makes me rething the f-body build and pushes me closer to a vette.
