I saw this at curts (CRB) when the 2 cars were being built. Such a clean build. I tried years ago to build an a-arm baja kit, I just couldn't get any traction to sell them.
This car is a super clean build and I bet it is a riot to drive!!

Nice car but not my style. Thank you for the offer.

Everyone thinks they need a V8. One ride in this car and nobody will ever think it needs a V8. I have walked away on a few z06’s and they weren’t happy about being beat by a 3.5 Honda.

LS powered cars have their place, and some have been successful building a Baja with an LS based powerplant. They are pretty badass.

But, a well-balanced car like yours, that is dialed in, is just as capable if not more so. There is nothing wrong with yours whatsoever. It's a beautiful piece and the fabwork looks top-notch. It's absolutely beautiful!!

I actually built a LS3 bug a few years back. Wasn’t fun at all on the street. Worst case I keep this. Good problem to have I guess.

 

[EmpirE231]

Surprised the market is so soft already... that is a cool car.

I had a turbo 3.5 honda in my fist sandcar, and that thing scooted

Whats the weight difference between a N/A aluminum LS3 VS the honda V6, with the turbo, intercooler, etc ? It can't be much different, althogh im sure the LS is a good 6" longer out the back

If you went aluminum block its about 80-125lbs. The biggest problem is they are loud and in CA, it is a constant hassle.

You and me both!

I think about it all the time too.
Really wish someone would just buy it.

I will buy it, just need the price to come down a tad bit lower!

This is my bottom line. Already losing $$$ at this price from what I paid. If it doesn't sell I'll keep it.

It’s a killer deal at this price point. It would be a novelty item at this point. Too busy with life to enjoy it. But would be a fun ride for sure!
