Wait, what party? And why wasn't I invited?On second thought, don't answer that - I don't wanna know.

Since there are kits for putting Viper bodies on Corvettes, I think someone should buy this and put a Vette body on it.

It looks very Caterham-esque like that.

Caterham mega 7?

Looks like fun to me. Doing something similar with a C4 Vette.

Maybe a Cheetah body?

love the cheetah. But it is deceptively tiny. 90 inch wheelbase and I think 60 inches wide. The engine is so far rearward that no driveshaft was used.

There is a guy (Mr Bruce) in Pa that makes a Cheetah body that has a 94 inch wheelbase, uses a short driveshaft, and is wide enough to use C4 Vette suspension with deep dish wheels. I think it's 78 inches wide at the rear. Almost bought one to put on one of my frames.

I don't think so, but check with the people who know what they are talking about. i.e. not me...
