Not the new C8 Corvette but, rather, a mid-engine, Subaru-powered Chevette. Also on the build menu: box flares, lots of auxiliary lamps and some iconic colors.

Why does a Chevette with a gen 1 3.4 V6 sound like so much fun.

There was someone on this forum that was a pretty big fan of this platform but I can't remember who. I think they actually do have good ingredients from a high level, with a decent front suspension (maybe the details aren't so great?) and I think they're a nice size & shape.
Seems like a fun, cheap canvas to work with.

The Chevy Chevette is based on a successful European car that raced in many series, including WRC, etc.

The first car my father ever left me drive war a 1976 chevette. Some years later Ihe found me a $500 1978 automatic that 8 bought to get to school...what a pos. I bought it in NY winter an the first warm sunny day the ice in 5je carpet melted and the floor fell out!
My point is it NEVER occurred to me to race it :)

I'm partial to the later 60 deg v6. They are solid motors. However, the 3.8 makes more power out of the box.
I just put a 3500 in my 87 rx7. Fun engine!
