Would be way cool to build a replica corvette body to put that engine in and make it into an radio-control car you could drive!

Or, like PLRX mentioned, build a mini LT5 that runs and put it in a ZR-1 model and turn that into an R/C car. I bet some people would pay a whole lot of money for something like that!

Default Not a Vette, but you gotta see this!

Hope this works. Not a Vette but an incredible Ferrari model!

Sorry, I'm no good at linking stuff properly. I'll see if I can get help from my computer nerd buddy and try again later.
