It's more of a honda civic body onto a corvette drivetrain swap.

incredible effort...performance wise, but everything else falls short...the body, the grill the lame hid kit.

pretty awesome how the stealth bomber flew by while they were shooting pictures though.

he had the engine from a wrecked corvette (i'm assuming it's his) and then bought that civic for 200 bucks.

that's a pretty sweet setup. imagine trying to race that thing, and seeing it smoke the rear tires...??
