Needs Ideas for a car for a Viper Drivetrain

[DTM Brian]

Discuss.

 

Customer is considering the purchase of a late model viper drivetrain with supercharger. What would be a cool car to put it in? Obviously a custom hood will need to be made due to the length of engine. I was thinking either an import or a mid 80 RWD GM platform.

Yugo.

Yugo.

 

 

I think the viper motor is bigger the the yugo from bumper to bumper.

EDIT: wait that would just be slowing it down

I can't think of anything. I really don't like that motor.

I hate the way they sound but remember this? http://www.radrides.com/gal.htm

I would put it in an old car.

Shelby Cobra replica ! I have seen one with this set up already and it was real nice !

exactly. Then you could say the car is "all go and no .. nothing else" .

I say shove it into an older hot-rod truck.

 

(although no matter what it is going to sound like garbage)

Remind me to break your legs for suggesting such blasphemy.

I've seen the supercharged viper in a Cuda at the good guys show a few years ago. It was sweet.

80s Grand Fury cop car, quiet mufflers, and dog dish hub caps. Shocking and hilarious.

I'm a little slow here, cuz I'm still a riceboy, but why? Just because?

[ImUrOBGYN]

Nothing that's been mentioned here because you saw it somewhere else. I mean, you might as well make it unique.

 

I, of course, have to recommend the MKIII Supra. I prefer 89-92. Engine bay should be plenty long enough since it comes with an inline 6 and frontmount with plenty of xtra space leftover.

 

If not, I would go with something completely sleeper; performance wise. Does this gentleman want something that still looks good for the ladies and cruising? That makes a big difference.

 

How much custom work do you want to involve? Get a hatch or small wagon and make it mid engine, rear wheel.

 

Also, is there an all wheel drive Daimler Chrysler drivetrain (built or not) you can combine it with that will handle the power?

there's a shop right by one of the hospitals i work at here in tampa with at least 15 of these cars sitting outside--its a nissan specialty shop. i'm seriously considering getting one of these next summer on my way out of tampa, for an LSX swap.

How bout a Prowler?
