I have mixed emotions about this.

I dont know if the dude is finished with it but.....

If I seen that thing race a couple of week ago I would have been shocked as hell

Different idea...

I wasn't going to read that whole thread, but I saw one guy write: "Power to weight baby!!!"

WIth all the steel that guy has in it so the Civic body will support the twisting force there is no way it'* going to be near as light as the original Vette was. Just cause it'* a Civic, don't mean it'* the lightest thing out there.

amazing

Floor the pedal, and all that torque is gonna turn that Civic body into an accordion. :P

damn i read all 15 pages waiting to see a finished product... ill have to keep waiting!

that is awesome, i love seeing something that is completely different. i love being unique, thats part of the reason i wanted an SSEi, cause there arent very many of them around where i live, a few but not many. ill definetely be watching that thread, already read through all 15 pages like you haro!

I take it you haven't seen the solid balls-out fabricated chassis (albeit potentially heavy)... it'* essentially only Civic body panels

While it shows a lot of skill, imagination, and craftsmanship, who in their right mind would strip a Vette to build a Civic???
