DTM Brian Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 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.

DTM Brian Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yugo. I think the viper motor is bigger the the yugo from bumper to bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
