Interesting to see if fran trademarked SLC... Mercedes-Benz Unveils Brand-New SLC Sports Car | Architectural Digest

Thin and narrow could work maybe?. maybe R8 taillights or the dodge strip...

Some of the lines of this could be stolen for a facelift on the SLC. I like the rear... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTB-hgQKzbA

Hi Gareth, you can use uship.com to get quotes and qualify the providers. There are really only two options. Getting to a bigger company, or dealing with an agent that is in touch with various owners/operators as subs.

how long did this take to put together, looks like you got done pretty quickly.

do we have a street car option that can take the corvette engine trans/config that is not the race only LMP?

As is anything in these decisions, there are always trade offs. I think I would rather spend the 9500 on the right and final transmission than the ls3 to start with. e.g. I have a L33 sitting in the garage and with cam can get that to 400hp pretty easily and I won't have more than 1200 in that...

trans 2k kennedy adapter 2k clutch/flywheel ? seems like no good way to get this done cost effectively without spending 5k and gambling on a used trans. the mendeola seems more interesting as it is 9500 and takes regular chevy flywheel/clutch, etc. and get can get better gearing limited...

thanks gents, had heard of car-part before, never actually bought anything that way. edit: see it on ebay too. I was searching for g50 for a long time. Searching for 99-01 has opened the flood gates. here's an example...

didn't realize the g96s could be had this cheap. even without the bells and whistles. I haven't seen these sub 2k boxes ever show up in ebay. i must be looking in the wrong places. any good tips where to start looking for these?

can't wait to see pics like the others as well. as for 4/6/8 engines, I think it comes down to you if you're going through all the effort to build it, might as well get a v8 :) they are cheaper, get more power and easier to tune/work on especially the LS variants. now if you only figured...

Thanks for the info Scott, very helpful.

how are you guys buying through copart? with an agent? any recommendations?

I think you'll have to piece it together to save on cost. Should not be too bad though. You have to start with a lower compression base, like this, 9.5:1 = Ford Racing 5.0LMustang 4V DOHC Aluminator Crate Engine for Supercharged Applications M-6007-A50SC - Free Shipping then you get this...

the car is beautiful. impressive how they did this so under wraps. anyone know pricing? my guess 160-180k range...

they never mentioned in that thread if they were successful or not. I don't think it's as easy as how the suburu guys are able to pull it off for the 818. the 01e, was euro only availability i believe or very little stock got to the US.

you need this bad boy for 6sp. 01E FWD wide ratio transmission, Advanced Automotion

The b5s are 1996-2005, assuming all years will work. here's a cheap way to get to 350hp :) 97-04 Audi/Passat 1.8T GTRS Eliminator Hardware Kit : atpturbo.com http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-VVW-124&Category_Code=VVWTK
