You Just Can't Beat A Vette Like This!

Just a gorgeous peice of man made muscle.
Check it out:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Grand...QQcmdZViewItem

Some Highlights:

Modeled after a 1963 Corvette Grand Sport Roadster
2,000lb car with a 5.7l 330HP V8
Custom built body that is almost a 1 off
6 speed manual
All integral parts of the car are top of the line modern parts
Looks and must feel like a beast
Perfect looking wheels

The pictures are towards the bottom of the page. There are a million different pictures so be patient to let it load.

A car that awesome for only 78,500 bucks. I would rather have that then a new Z06.

I wonder what kinda times it can pull? So much HP and TRQ for such a light car. Would imagine that it would smoke anything around town.

I wonder what the MPG would be with that car. Couldnt be bad at all seeing only 2,000 lbs and 330hp.

Now the main question is, will it sell?

The guy that owns and built this belongs to another forum I lurk on. He has a lot of sweet old muscle. I have to say, I don't like the way it looks. I like everything else though.

LS2's get around 18-26 depending on where you drive it according to GTO owners. The current GTO is a **** load heavier and has 400hp and tq.

It would be near impossible not to step on it all the time, but probably could get around 20-30mpg if you drove it around or near highway speed a lot.

Come on blue, don't leave us hanging like that! Do you have any links to some of his other beautiful creations?

I wonder how much it cost him to build this one?

I don't know much about the guy. I just remember seeing him post a bunch of pics of that vette. I think he own EVS motors: http://www.evsmotors.com/. I guess the restore and tune muscle cars.

Here are some pics I had saved from his posts.

Jeez, if I had the money I would want to buy one, but then I would be afraid to drive them!

Simply works of art. Thanks Blue.
