Found this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Repli...19154127QQrdZ1

 

Neat idea but not very practical.
I'd like to see the face of the cop who stops this car first when the owner says "Those really ARE my plates, it IS a Chevy!"

 

Interesting. You would think the "turn your Viper into a Camaro" kit would be available since they don't make Camaros anymore. Not sure if I would ever want anyone thinking my trusty Chevy was a Dodge product.
Ha ha, I wonder if the red pic is even a converted Chevy. I bet it is a stock Viper. Good find though.

 

I've seen those for C4 corvettes too.

The problem is, all it comes with is the fiberglass. By the time you buy the 300 other parts you need, you'll have spent enough that you could have just bought a used Viper.

That "finished" pic is a pic of a real viper. If this kit actually looked halfway decent, you'd think he'd put up a real pic.

 

Cool. Dont think I would want to turn a camaro into a viper though. Bedford, Indiana, thats right by me I think?.

 

Kind of looks like a scam.

 

Why do you think its a scam?

 

It looks like a bunch of viper body pannels you can try and make fit on a third gen.

 

i think id rather turn a viper into a 3rd gen car. where can i get a kit like that?

 

Although, I dont think I'd trade my GTA for anything!

 

Hahaha, make a $30K+ vehicle into a $300 vehicle! Wise investment!

 

My GTA was $7,000 not $300




(Ok,ok,ok, I do recoginze most 3rd gens are beat to death, and worth less, etc, etc, )

 

Dodge=Junk...Camaro=cool

Why F**K up a perfectly good camaro?

 

This reminds me of the "Make your 3rd Gen a Ferrari" body kit. The worst part about this is that I actually saw a finished piece of this kit for sale last year. Someone had done this to a firebird all the way down to the ferrari rims, steering wheel and shifter.

 

thats a pretty cool idea though

but yeah that red pic is just a viper.

i wonder what it really looks like....

 

I think someone on team3rdgen.com or iroczone.com just bought one of the kits

 

I would turn a fourbanger bird or camaro into a viper. Than I would make all the LO3 feel really good by beating me!

 

so it sounds like it comes with a custom interior. i wounder what it looks like. it uses the real vents and aftermarket gauges is he talking about camaro vents or viper vents?

 

would you really want that ****y v10 sound coming out of your camaro?! i dont think so

 

One benefit would be the weight of fiberglass.

 

I have to disagree. I believe with many kit cars, you bond the rear quarter fiberglass panels ontop of the original sheetmetal panels. In the end, you most likely add more weight than you remove.

 

he i saw on ebay, a body kit for 3th gen it looks pretty cool but i dont think i would turn my trans am in to one. however if i did i don't think any one will have the same body style.

 

all that fiberglass and the interior for 2500 bucks? sounds fishy to me.

 

Anyone remember the Evo II kit to turn your firebird or camero into a euro looking rice burner with lambo doors and stuff?

Evolution:Evoluzione II





The original Evo I kit was around 3 grand and came with alot more stuff (rear glass, dual shocks for the doors), so all that fiberglass for 2500 bucks most likely is about right. Just my opinion.

 

Does That look BeaT to Death? I smoke almost anything . Should Travel More.

 

maybe i should turn my car into a 4 cyl so all the LB9 guys can feel good beating me heh

to stick to the thread though id like to see some pics of that done... not that i want to do it but just to see it done

 

..i bet you dont smoke almost anything. have a timeslip?

 

10.28 @ 188 KM/H Going again soon , Camaro in the shop

 

uh oh this might get ugly,

EDIT: you do reaize that 188km/h is 116.8 mph? and you said you ran the 1/4 in 10.28. Usually, 1/4 miles times of 10.28 or thereabouts dont match up with 116.8mph (188km/h). Those two dont match up FYI. Im not saying that you didnt do it, though some might, but you should post up the timeslip if you did that.

 

I don't c a plate and you can see the air filter on the front of the tb
Hope that you've got a big inch small block under that stock tpi
The car does look good though

 

The magic is the dome cylinder heads cam. ported and bored + balance never the less stage 2 performance chip tranny been modified...shes in the shop now for the touch up...and mush more..

 

thought i did the caculation right.. was 10.28 @ 144mph .About the pink slip did not know would have needed it today... Spilled coffee on it when showing guys at work..Ill be going soon though waiting for car and a day off and you guys will get what your looking for..

 

sorry i dont see 144mph from a 350based tpi lol

 

Wow, I wish the Original Evo kit was 3grand, it was like 5 grand, and no, it didn't come with any glass.

 

 

Bull **** ??? WHAT THE **** DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY CAR ???? DO YOU KNOW IF IM RUNNING NOS? DO YOU ****ING KNOW IF I GOT EXHAUST TURBOS ??? ALL YOU SEE IS THE CAR BEFORE I GOT IT MODIFIED ...IN THE END YOU DONT KNOW **** ABOUT MY CAR CAMS , DIFF LOCK , TRANNY .....YOU KNOW **** SO TAKE THE BULL**** STICK AND STUFF UP YOUR *** ...

 

I agree with Jim, even buying the head lights, windshield, and brake lights would be outrageous in cost. Notice he never said any of those items were included in the kit. He just just states the kit uses real viper parts and the windshield frame is included.

I dunno about you guys but I can't find Viper parts in the JY to get them cheap.

Then you have the rims to consider too. You just spent $2500 + shipping on a rep kit and collected the rest of your parts (at least another acouple thousand). You would be easily into the double digits now probably, not even counting the labor hours. Would just throw a set of IROC rims or Snowflakes on there and call it done? Of course not. Then you consider Viper rims are 6 lugs if I'm not mistaken. So just picking up a set and sending them off to a shop be redone to fit is out of the question.


My reply is please fight over PMs. This is a Tech Board nothing for you start flaming over. I have reported this post to the MOD.

And my answer for your car specs is simple. I looked into your images you posted and found your cardomain member ID off the URL tag and used it to access your cardomain page.

Under bragging rights section you have: "Bragging Rights Quarter Mile 13.79 sec @ 101.9 mph est. HP 280 hp"

Very nice and clean looking car. Extremely nice engine bay, but it's no where close to 10s. I can clearly see in the pics you do not have a supercharger or turbos. I like the way you have everything offset in either red or black though.

Discussion over...

 

i stand by what i said. I havent heard of any TPI running 10s

 

sorry if my bs post offended you but all i based it off was what youve posted. and to me, doesn't seem reasonable, now say, if you are pushing like a 500hp shot of nitrous through that tpi, then its probably possible.

 

NICE looking ride STRAIGHT!!!

 

Thanks , hey guys i got my mechanic asking me for him to put diesel springs ? More still but recommended??? 1.6 i usually recommended for my year of z28 but whast hes talking about is a 6. something...

Need awnser fast got a show to go to this sat - sun and i need car ASAP.


Thanks

 

Am I the only one lost here?

 

lost ?? diesel springs are apprerently more stiffer than gaz cars spring valves due to the oversizing to give more comprission diesel spring valves are better ...what im asking does anyone have any experience with that or is it just my mechanic...and if you woundering he has 27 years experience and works with hot rods...but i still have the dougt but....

 

stick with springs you know about. call comp or crane.

 

Go post in Gen tech and stop hijacking fab board threads. 10 sec. quarter mile times on a n/a LTR set up. Ahhh.... (wipes a tear) I needed that! Thanks!

 

My non-supercharged 89 350 5.7 will do 150 easy...

 

If you ask me you are crazy to even consider something else. I agree with 7plagues, just pick up a set of compCams springs.

Mine would do 155 mph stock, but after that I ran out. We were talking 1/4 mile not top speed though. If you're busting out 150 mph on a 350 in the 1/4 you must have a magic combo or be doing some serious turbo/nitrous works.

 

some please fill me in on how valve springs can give more compression lol

 

Try $8 grand for the Evo II which is the one pictured.

 

I'm really surprised that no one has threatened to "meet somebody afterschool outside the gym".

Folks- please loose the attitudes. Grown-ups don't act like this. If you are mature enough to drive a car you need to act like a grown-up.
