Needs to be slightly lower at the back imho

But otherwise "sik" car....he has balls to drive a Purple Corvette over here, hats off to him!

[Lynsey]

Awesome, will we see this driving about then? Dougie and I went to a car meet up at the Griffin pub in Warmley tonight, loads of Road Rods there and Harleys. Apparently it's on every pleasant Tuesday, I'm sure they'd appreciate your Pa's car and we could arrange to meet you there if you're free next week or something? :cool:

[Welshy]

aye:confused:
the car that god would drive so your dads god:thumb:

Got to like a proper bit of American Muscle, I wasn't ever really a fan but a mate of mine owns a 9 sec Vette street car and after a go in that I can see the reason why people like muscle cars so much.

511hp 383cc stroked small block with another 300hp nitrous using 2 Won kits, runs 9.9 @ 136mph on treads and is a full car with the original leather interior and no cage lol

I'll admit a nova with 800hp would probably go a bit better as it wouldn't weight nearly 2 ton like this old thing but the car makes all the right noises you would expect from a Yank muscle car and thats what counts !

[stevie-p]

thanks for the comments all and lynz ernie and dar im sure we could arrange something and as for the back it is not as low as it looks in the pics and there is not much clearance as it is will post a pic up to show you lol

[stevie-p]

a standard size mug - slightly smaller than a can on flat ground

oil filter is at the same height as the pipes and the front is even lower but cant get down enough to see underneath

[Jonlem]

Side exits would sort that problem out :)

Looks like a great example of one though

[Jack]

Nice, although I'm not a great fan of that shape 'Vette

[stevie-p]

it does really need to be seen to appreciate how nice and tidy it is he also has the standard wheels for combe as tyres dont cost too much

and jonlem your mates looks in sane

*thanks for sorting the title*

[Jonlem]

I'll try and dig out some videos I once took

[stevie-p]
