When Bubba wins the lottery....
 

.....this is what happens.

Thats hot. I want one. I don't think I can any longer deny being half-redneck.

I'm right there with you, brother.

That car has been bastardized.

That would certainly make hauling your race tires easier.

That thing may be an abomination, but it's really well put together... looks like they did an excellent job. I bet it wins car/truck shows pretty easily.

I like it, but wouldn't pay $30K for it.

The rear bumper says ZR-1. If some asshat destroyed a REAL ZR-1 to make that piece of crap, may he be dragged out into the street and shot!

It's just a badge, the front half is an '84 Vette. They didn't make a ZR-1 in '84.

Still, my point is cutting up a ZR-1 for parts! Maybe it was totalled, and they just scavenged the rear bumper. That would make me feel better.

Urge to kill, fading. . .

Meh.... it's not like the ZR-1 was all that fast anyway. They're just cool 'cause they're rare.

While I can appreciate the work that went into that, the reality of it hurts my heart. Someone hacked up some Vettes.

That and I think it's butt-ugly. :P

I now drive a Subi, but I was raised with Chevy in my heart! :P

I tend to think a factory built aluminum block 405bhp DOHC V8 redlining @ 7200RPM is pretty cool in it's own right.

Huh? The ZR-1 made like 370hp for like $30,000 (plus the retarded dealer markups) in 1990 dollars! You could have purchased a regular C4, and put a 600 hp NASCAR motor in there for cheaper.

I guess the ZR-1 isn't a bad car considering the era it came from (early 90's), but it wasn't the super-car that Vette people make it out to be. A plain old C5 is faster around the track, not to mention the ZO6's or C6's.

Yeah it looks like they did a nice job on it.

Wheelspin much?

You're thinking of the 90-92 models, not the 93-95. Current vettes could probably whoop up on ZR-1's, but they were pretty badass for their time.

I thought they only made the ZR-1 in '90/'91, I didn't realize they were made for so long, nor did I know they bumped the specs mid-run! Those later ZR-1's look pretty sweet. More importantly, that aluminum 350 would be a sice motor for motor swaps since it's gotta be much lighter than the normal cast iron 350 smallblock. :eek:

Not necessarily; it's DOHC whereas the regular Chevy 350 is pushrod. DOHC engines tend to be quite a bit bigger and taller. The weight might not be much different...

Crap, so it's a completely different 5.7L DOHC motor, not just an aluminum version of the normal 350?

:whammy:

Yup. As I recall the LT-5 was designed for that car by Lotus.
