that's an ugly car dude, chevrolet impala's that's the only old american car i like, but this is just ugly, we have a few running around here, but the owners let it rust away, this is way too big,they put a v10 or v8 in it and it still doesn't go, i think car's like this are made too cruse not too race, if it even hit's up too 120

man, get your facts straight before you start bashing. you may think the cars ugly, and you're entitled to your opinion, but if your gonna bash, know what your bashing. first, corvette's don't rust away, they're mostly fiberglass. yes, the metal parts will rust but there ain't many of em. and that vette pictured i'd bet could hit 120 without breaking a sweat. that's at least a 6-71 blower on a big-block chevy there. assuming the smallest BBC (a 325 HP 396) which i doubt it is, and given an advertised 50% HP gain from a 6-71 blower, thats 487.5 HP. I garuntee it makes more than that but for the sake of argument we'll go with it. and at a stock weight of about 2500 lbs, thats good for a 12.33 1/4 mile. now that's not the greatest 1/4 in the world, but consider: most of the cars chopped on this site (minus Merc, BMW's, etc) only run a 17-18 sec. 1/4. and that vette has considerably more than 487 HP and weighs considerably less than 2500 lbs.

it defenitly rusts, i've seen it, don't tell me it doesn't rust, or maybe they putt some pirate parts on it or something, could be
i understand what your saying, if you find it a nice car, fist of all, i think they ****** up the whole hood by putting that engine true it, if you do this with a new car owkay, but this one, 2nd; this car is just too heavy, why race it, it's not made too do this, it's for crusing like i've sead before, they try too look it like a fast car.
Now i'm going to say something, and most of you guys are going too say i'm talking nonsens but the scene from fast and furious when the charger races the supra, your not going too tell me the charger ever made a change, it comes back in the 2f2f whan the 2 heave americans race the skyline i thing it was, common, like they made a chance
sorry if my english isn't so good, i'm doing my best
btw commentz on the pictune are stille welcome

Hey Sub, KillerCamaro is right. All Corvettes, since the very first one, have been made of either fibreglass or composite. The only thing you may have seen rusting on a 'Vette are the trim pieces. You could also not be more wrong about the 'Vette being designed to race. That is exactly why the first 'vettes were built. They were built to kick the **** out of Jags and Cobras on road courses, and thats exactly what they did. The problem is that your comparing cars from different eras. What was Nissans baddest car in the late 50' and early 60's?
As far as your picture goes, the burnout looks really good. The only problem is that the car next to it seems to be vanishing. Still better than i could do.
By the way, the quickest, fastest most brutally powerfull piston driven cars on the planet are powered by supercharged V-8's. AMERICAN BUILT V-8's.

i'm definitely not a big chevy fan (ford man) but i swear to god if i could i would strangle you for calling that ugly. what, do you want a damn riced out 89 honda civic hatchback? thats not ugly to you is it? ********. but, you can hav ur opinion i guess.
but like the guys said, get your facts straight. there was never a corvette made of sheetmetal; all fiberglass or composite. and, i believe that the only trim you'll see on that era vette is chrome which rarely rusts. and, just to add to it, that vette is worth about 80g's in my estimation.
and killercamaro, i'm guessing he's running a 454 cuz u really dont see blowers on a smaller big block very often. so...kick the hp estimates up a bit for that one lol
the burnouts is good tho lol took a while to get to that part

also it weighs 2840 lbs w/ a 454 block in it so...its not that heavy.
and also the top speed is 155 stock so....i think it would have NO problem hitting a mere 120

@killercamaro; i recieved your e-mail; it wasen't my intension too make enemy's either
maybe i was wrong of expressing myself like "old ugly car" i didn't think, some people would think it's a beautiful oldtimer, i don't see many of these car's around, and it's not really loved here, the only ones are the impala's that we use for lowrider,
weird too tell you this but i'm from west-vlaanderen, a small part of belgium and once a month, they buy load of corvettes and chevy to just do a distruction derby, so most of them i've only seen with the hood smashed up.
sorry if my opinion wasn't right (for some of you) but i don't love these cars, wy race with a slow turning engine, o well...
btw off-topic butt i'm looking for some impala's howmutch should i pay for a chevy impala like this one (the red one)
http://home.tiscali.nl/~m.horvath/amerikan...os/pictures.htm
it's one we see a lot in belgium, but standaard of course, and not yet imported, but totally in order?
I was wondering, what the cheapest thing would be, buy one in america, transfort it too belgium and make it a lowrider here, but all the parts come from america too
or buy one in america and buy all the parts there, then ship them all together in a container too belgium??
or doesn't anybody have a clue?
thankx B)

Just my opinion, Lowriders are the dumbest of all modding of cars.. just my opinon here, not starting a war...
but what's the point? They are the dumbest things I have seen and whenever I see one I just laugh. Classic corvette or Impala? You can have the Impala and smell the rubber-[atch I lie down infront of you with my C1 corvette.
JMO, and you are entitled to yours

well that's cool dude, really... I just don't see the point of tiny tires on a classic car, riding around like you're pimp-****. I don't like American cars usually, and impalas don't exactly lite my fire. but like I said, i dont wanna start a war,

******s? not really. just because you dirve a dumb car doesn't mean youre a bad person, lol, just means you have poor taste in cars. I don't get when they bounce the car, WTF? honestly, what's that about? I am more of a "race cars around a track" kind of guy, but that's just me,
its their car, they can do what they want, but if I had alll the money in the world, I would buy something with class, some really nice cars you can get with all that money,

oh that's what you mean, you're right i don't like them bouncing them cars either, thats stupid, now just dancing
if you don't like the car that's your oppinion, i don't like the old impala's neither, only the "newer" onces, like the one on the links i've posted
ah well, i still don't thing those old car's are made for racing
and iff you had all the money of the world, witch car would you buy
and i was wondering, witch car you people look up too?
