there maybe head gasket issues around the back 4 cylinders being stuffed under the cowl like that. All the heat is going to get trapped under there and absolutely wreak havoc on the parts there :(

other than that, that must be one seriously scary car :shock:

I'm pretty sure that beast is an Opel Manta. :twisted:

Ha! It even has Viper wheels on it! I'll bet it would be a blast to hammer around the track for a few minutes, untill your lower extremities melt off that is.

I was so amazed at the look of this car that I forgot to look at the rims! You are right man straight off an old school RT! :D

Actually....

That entire center console is out of a Viper. The shifter, the e-brake, even those gauges. It looks as though they just threw the body and some interrior bits of an opel on top of the rolling chasis + Engine, tranny, and driveline of the Viper.

That car kicks ass.

I think that is an old opel record or commodore, at least the sheetmetal. 2doors and boxy roof are quite rare(and ugly). And engine has been a 2.5liter inline-6. So the Viper v10 isn´t actually longer than that. Remember that new Monaros are actually same cars as Omegas, and they can be bought from the shop with new C6 engines, that is quite close in performance to this monster.

I'm sure with a little throttle, that understeer won't be a problem.
