You guys know the rules!!!
What is the cars best quarter mile times.
6. Seller harassment is not tolerated. People that reply in threads to cause intentional harm to the sale, or troll and make immature comments could be removed from the site. Beating people down about pricing is uncalled for, althought mature suggestions could be made, with examples. If you aren't interested in the vehicle, simply do not respond. The seller can refuse a sale to anyone for any reason, it is their vehicle to sell.

4. Pricing and Location are required. Any ebay/auction links posted in an ad must also have a "buy-it-now" price included. Trades and "Best Offer" can be included, but an asking price is required.

how hard is it to change spark plugs. etc? how's routine maintenance and does the car eat any parts of have mechanical/electrical issues that would possibly need to be figured out? that would be my only concern with the car. the videos prove that it can take a lot, but the owner/builder knows things others might not. badass build regardless. i think you should take the vette emblems off, get some "more ricerish" wheels that dont give away anything about it and put some vtec stickers on it.hehe

I don't see $15-$20000 being anfair price for this car. The value of the rolling chassis/drivertrain combined with the aftermarket parts, custom fabrication, and the time involved (not to mention the uniqness of the vehicle and it being both extremely light, has a Corvette suspension, and a very powerful drivetrain) leave him at a strong selling standpoint. Just depends on if he can find a buyer that wants what he has and is willing to pay enough for it.
Good luck with sale, and congratulations on the successful build.
The difference in a drive train for $5000 and rolling drivetrain for $9-12 is the fact that the rolling drivetrain is setting on the Vette frame, suspension, and wheels/tires. The frame, the suspension, and the wheels/tires make up the difference in price.
Try to know know what you are talking about before shooting off at the mouth. Makes you look alot less ignorant.

LOL @ Drivetrain for 9-12K?????? stock LS1 longblocks sell for 2500 or less all day long, stock trannys M6=1500 at most A4=500 at most, and a stock rear for at most 1000. So if you break $5k in the entire powertrain your gettin screwed the way i look at it, but it is America and you can disagree. More power to the guy if he thinks he can get $20K

It is bad *** and unique and took a hell of a fabricator to do this, but modding doesn't add to the value, don't put your receipts together to sell it unless your doing a build for an individual. Might add them up to see what you've got in it to then decide on a price but don't add it all up then ask that considering your labor, thats just your loss. No vette guy wants to be caught in a civic hatch, and if it don't have vtec and a turbo a honda guy won't want to pay that for it.

seen civette in person, its a awesome car. You dont pay for what drivetrain is plus a civic shell plus other things, you pay for being the only EK or civic for all i know with a freakin ls1 in it. Im sure the fabrication, time and money is pretty hefty in this car. bump for civette
