I'm talking about DODGE VIPER V-10 ENGINE HERE I know about the V-12 but whos got the money to do that? THe engine alone is 60grand, A V-10 in a Vette seems more cost effective for a radical engine swap. Its about 15grand for the engine, 3-5G's on the Transmission 2.5 g's on the axel and drive shaft. and about 10g's to stretch it ( OR BIG OR, reccess the firewall and cram the engine in there. :yesnod: So I see at least $31,000-$38,000 upgrade for a radical V-10 in a Corvette which should surprise a lot of people ;)

Man , don't do it!!! Unless you want to be the odd man in the crowd!

Honestly, it is going across the grain....but if it turns you on, just do it! Who cares what others think. It is your ride.

:cheers:

I think that could be the best fusion of American Muscle. This would be a Car using Both AMerican CAr company Products and cars to beat up on rice and all those Ferraries and Diablos. Ummm MAybe not that far, probably not in handleing? :confused: :D ;)

Do you guys think that there is any kind of kit that can make the Corvette handle better than say a C5 Z06 or even a Lamborghini? This is considering it still has enough power to pull 10s. ;)
