Fun project... AWD


Didn't one of the Vette magazines build one of these way back in the 80's ??

I thought they did a series of articles on such a project??

Czesc!

Looks good. Awesome to see someone in Poland with a c3. Where are you guys? Im from Opole but i moved here when i was like 2. My mom is from wroclaw.
Heres a pic of my car- zz502, 5 speed tremec tko 600 and Accel EFI superram

I guess Polish people know how to get it done lol.
I built a twin turbo Mitsubishi 3000GT before this.

Im going to be over there probably early summer (well germany for the world cup) but i might have to stop by and check all this out.

Doesn't look like the transer case/front driveshaft is going to fit under the driver's side floorboard. What is your plan for this?

Subscribing so I can see the progress.

Looks like a very cool - custom build.

GM might be watching and taking notes for the next gen vette. although I kinda think the general needs to keep vettes RWD for nostalgic reasons - leave the AWD to you!

Are you the guys entering in King of Europe? I saw a list of competitors and there was a polish 4wd corvette listed w/ 998 HP. Is that you guys and if so, where did the HP number come from? I see an LT1 and a big turbo there but nothing that's complete and would give dyno results????

How on earth is a hood going to fit over that, is the turbo going to remain there or mounted in the center?

First you build an AWD C3...then you pull that off. You fit in well around here.
