Nope.
Looks like fun, though.

450hp to those skinny tires? Neat idea but a high school kid in a ten year old 370Z and traction control will blow it away.

I get it, the owner ran out of money to put those big Hoosiers or street legal summers on the back, but as-is it would be a deathtrap.

That's what I was thinking too. Horsepower is no good unless you get traction out of the hole.

If you ignore all the small nit-picking details, it's a pretty good build.

The small details are the difference between a good build and a poorly executed pile of crap.

I feel like small is kind of an understatement here. Someone put a big LS in a shitbox. Cool? Yeah. But this build is 20% complete at best.

Even skinny stickies do wonders, plus just pucker up and petal down and take them on the nastiest backroad you can find, they cant pass you on the corners if you are totally sideways.....

It comes back the definition of an american sports car.... Allards, cunninhams, cobras and cheetahs werent built to win on the corners but they had the beefy american v8's to pull on the straight. Just look at an Allard suspention for christsake, the split an i-beam axle like a worse version of for twin-i truck stuff.

The value is in the motor and transmission. The rest is scrap unless it has a 12 bolt rear end.
