Batlground: Which car should we build next

[Jenson]

Haha, I just read the stipulations for the car. I thought it was just a car to build to promote the company. I really want to build a texas mile car too!!!! Just dont have money for it.


Obviously the C6/C5 is a very popular choice for that, and would move you up the clientele ladder. As I stated before (I think) Vette owners are sort of finicky. There are alot of new blood vette owners out there that companies like Vengeance have taken advantage of, but there again, they came from building GM products at a top level before they were Vengeance.

But...since you want to do something of an all around car, and the 10' Camaro is probably the hottest thing going right now I stand behind that. If it were my company and that was my goal, I'd build a 10' camamro with and LSx 427 with a big single kit that could be marketed as an upgradable street to race kit. Something like a T76-T88 street kit and a large T6-1xx for the race kit.

I know I know, twins spool faster for the street. Well, one company just last week had an open house with their TT kit for the 10' and offered the first 3 customers free instalation and the first 10 kits at $1500 off. All the other companies ordered their 5th gens last October and there is already a slew of parts for it pertaining to power. Long tubes, cat-backs, CAI, TVS2300 kits, and the aformentioned TT kit. Some suspension mods (like lower control arms to control wheel hop) and a single turbo kit have not been mentioned or developed yet from what I have read. Something like that would also showcase Dan as more of an engineer than just a builder/tuner as well.

You can always purchase a body in white from GM ($7000), LSx block ($2500) and build from there. Only downside is they are not streetable. Every one is up in arms about it being so heavy too, but in reality its around the same weight as the GTO's were. Sorry for the book If you need someone to make any CNC parts Im your guy

Thanks for the post. Great input!!!! We have been talking to a few of these companies about bodies in white, but like you said, you can't street them.

We also aren't afraid of a single turbo!!!! Dan has been saying twin, but if it turns out to be cooler, single, I'm sure he will do it.

Once again thanks for the input. PM me where you work and I might need to take you up on the CNC stuff in general.

That's what I like to hear, intelligent input with a rational explanation.

Are the "bodies-in-white" strictly forbidden to being titled or could you do some sort of kit-car loop hole?
