Default civette

totally awesome, I've had the same idea for a long time, never had the $ or luck to have a C5/C6 vette laying around, you have done amazing work in a short time. Great project, wish I'd have seen this thread a lot sooner, but this way, I can read it all at once. What is more fun to drive, the Lotus or the Civic?

i personally liked the guy in the white firebird. tring to pimp it at the track. racing with windows down, one handed. didnt even look like he knew he was at a drag strip, more like a red light.

other than that, crazy job with the build.

I love what you've done here... this really is true hotrodding. Now someone needs to do this the opposite way... a small "american" car with a big "japanese" v8, say a cavalier or saturn with a motor from a titan or tundra... boy that would **** some people off! Major respect to you for having the imagination to come up with this, the focus to see it through to completion, and the ***** to not let the haters bring the project down. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!

I love the concept, but why such an ugly body?
Would anyone like it if it weren't fast?

If you had read the hole thread, this car was chosen becaus it was what he had, and did not want to spend big $$ on a new body...

same with the donor car...
a smached up Corvette...

I just love this build!

I personally like the looks of hatch back Civics. The only thing I don't like is the FWD NA 4 banger that they come with lol. So this is the perfect Civic haha.
