What is this........

Im going to ask the Mods not to move this one because its not just about the car. Im curious of if this is even possible or if it is something that isnt possible. I personally love the look of this car...........Im not asking for opinions about it because I know everyone has them. I just want to know if its possible because I like it.

Should have posted this on the appearance board. Looks to be more like a 4th Gen car to me, so the body kit wouldn't work or look the same I would think. Looks good, but I'm not a fan of changing the looks of these cars that dramatically.

I figured it was for a 4 and 5th gen but I just wondered if it was for street or track cars. The door handles looked fake. I would love to have something like that. Its got that bunched up matchbox car look....GRRRRR........ OH and the reason I put it on this board is because I was curious about the engine and stuff. If it is a stock body covering that would just go over the car or what? I do care if it gets moved but Im just hoping not because I will just be back in here once I get the answers.

Nevermind then, I thought you were talking about the looks, didn't know you wanted engine info. Sorry.

I doubt it's a 5th Gen, since there aren't any and from my knowledge it is 100% certain that they'll return.

thats just whats known as a "trailer queen". theres no way you could ever drive that thing regularly, i doubt it even has an engine in it.

One speedbump would completly take out those ground effects...

i'm thinking even a mild turn to the left would shift enough weight over to scratch the ground effects up too....

Ummmmm....... That is not a real car, er..... well not a real F-body anyways.

That is an HPI RS-4 RC car (1/10 scale). And that is the 4th gen LS1 WS6 body for it. I have one of these myself (the car and the body). I painted it red but I removed those ground effects since they make it look less realistic. I also fabricated dual exhaust for mine with aluminum oval tail pipes a-la WS6 style ones . Mine has a .12 ci O.S. engine and a 2-speed trans and will do well over 60mph .

I've got an HPI Nitro truck. Wonder if that body will fit if I change the wheels to smaller ones. I've got the .15 motor and that things hauls ***. Only a single speed tranny here though..don' t see how you can possibly handle the thing any faster.
