Thinkin' bout doing this to the vette. What do you think?, a little propane, a little ignition and bavoom! Do you think it'll melt my tires if the flames comes out the sidepipes?

I'd be more worried about the fiberglass instead of the tires, but atleast it will look cool.

They look like grenade launchers, I can stick those out the front for the full frontal attack. THey can pop out when I turn on the lights.

I was acually thinking about doing this when i buy sidepipes, but the smaller flame throwers not those huge ones. It would be cool to do at school on a rainy day, or at a red light...... Wonder what would do if a guy tryed to rob you, and you acidently hit the switch and his legs were at the exaust....

It raises a host of legal/liability issues.

With the limited storage room of a vette, the flame throwers would come in handy for tailgating. Just pack your beer and hot dogs in a cooler. Roast you dogs with the flame thrower turned on.

Shhhhhhh.... Don,t worry about it. Probably will be parole eligible just in time for the debut of the C-40

On the other hand, it,s about the same measurement as a M79 grenade launcher, should be a easy mod....
