Hey guys.... i dont know if its possible, but can we change our cars to a RWD????? since the LNF on the solstice (or something like that) is RWD with our same engine.... is it possible?

 

ya, but you have to flip the engine around..

 

with alot of $$$$

 

10-20k minimum

 

^^^^easily and probably a lot of one off parts aswell.... also mods to the floor. be ready to fork out a lot of cash.

 

I forget what his SN is but he has put over 200k into making his rwd

 

Did you mean 20K. 200K is insane!!!!!!!!

 

nope...as of right now the total is $226,000. victory_red_ss

 

Why on Earth would anyone spend $226,000 to make a Cobalt rwd?

 

wow, what a waste

Better question: how would someone retarded enough to spend $226k on a Cobalt get $226k to spend on a Cobalt?

 

it wasnt supposed to be that much...i dont want to badmouth a vendor and get bashed so he will have the full story up soon on his website.

Makes some sense now. It is an all out drag car. I thought it was a daily street driven machine.

 

Yeah 220k makes much more sense when you realize its going to be putting down close to/over 1,500 HP... lol.

I remember reading all 100+ pages of his build thread.


Does anyone have pictures/measurements of the undercarrage of a sky/solstice? IIRC the wheelbase is almost exactly the same.

 

This is where the old saying, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" is absolutely 100% true.

that is still way too much money. WAAAAYYYY too much money.

 

for 226k he could have gotten a lambo or something whats the point of putting it in a cobalt.

 

ITS A DRAGGGGGGGGG CARRRRRRRR

hellooooooo

 

this thread just made me realize that I am broke

 

I'm fairly certain although the cash up tag for vic's car is 226K, a lot of the work/parts has come from sponsrships, I could be wrong though.

To the OP, anything is possible with the right amount of time/money

 

Or you could have picked up the phone, called Roush Racing paid $72,000 dollars for a 100% TURN KEY Race Engine making 1400 HP with everything needed minus a transmission. Turn key meaning even a standalone computer with full wire harness, turbo, manifold, injectors, and a race tune. Heck, I think they even included the OIL for the engine with it for that price

Why not just buy a solstice gxp?

 

^ smartest post so far in this thread

 

nope...out of his pocket

 

It's a sweet mod in Forza 2 that's for sure!! Don't know about "real
world" possibilities though...probably easier and cheaper to just buy a solstice/sky.

 

Yes the amount of money I have spent is insane and yes it has all been out of pocket.

Sadly I trusted companies to do what they promised for what they said it would cost.

I would never have done this had I know the true price tag before I started.

If you ever go to do something crazy, you could just as easy find yourself at a point of no return where stopping means losing everything you have already spent.

For those of you that think I am retarded, that is easy to say when you are a world away.

As for doing the swap with the Sky/Soltice, that would be about $20K as already mentioned and really why?, when buying a Sky/Soltice in the first palce would still give the same result.



PS

Certain shops are no longer part of this project for certain reasons, part of which are the costs to date.

 

i say ls7 swap sky for the price
