the only thing i dont like is that they put it up against a Honda 600RR. its a nice bike but not the best stock 600. they shoulda put it up against a built GSXR1000. for the money that car costs you could get that bike, put the same amount of money in it and it would give that thing a better run. BUT for 4 wheels omg if i was rich id have one ;)

Damn I miss that show. That car is bad ass, their professional driver "The Stick" can't drive as well as they say he can, that car should have been at the top. I've seen him screw up the lap with some other cars too.

That car is bad ass

Personally I think that the car is awsome, but there are a few improvements that can be made.

Well mostly 1 improvement.

If they let you custom order it with the motor and transmission of your choice.

Could you gut's imagine ordering that with a mildly built 350? Say 400hp or so, 300 pounds of torque!
And still make it handle like that

Then anyone could own a street car that could run Indy car speeds around a track for somewhere around $30,000.00

Thats awesome.

It wouldnt handle nearly that well with a big engine in it. That's why they used a lightwieght Honda powerplant. 300 HP supercharged B18C5 is a high revving, powerful engine. I cant imagine what its like to drive that thing.

Your right about the bigger motors weighing more making it worst handling. An all aluminum 350 is still pretty light weight though.

My choice would be a Mazda Rotary motor, and 5 speed

I think I would still rather have an aluminum sbc in it... It woldn't handle nearlly as nice I bet, but I don't think it would be shabby.

It will still be fast with any engine over 100 hp lol. How much does that car weigh? 1,000?

You can get a GM Ecotec 2.0L 4whizzer @ 205BHP @5600 and 200lb-ft@4400 with a redline of 6500
OR
The Honda i-VTEC 2.0L 4banger @ 220BHP@8200 and 144lb-ft@6100

oddly enough both have the same square bore and stroke, 86mmx86mm

Length: 3410mm
Track: 1600 front and rear
Height: 1195
Wheelbase: 2345
Width: 1798

weight: 456kgs which is, 1005lbs lol.

movin2, I like your $12.00 car!

Congrats man! Nice car!

I can't wait until you get a few mods done on that one.

Since you somehow transformed a Geo into 1 sweet ride I know that you'll turn an already nice Sunfire into something breathtaking!
