His dash board was like, a foot in... lol... That's thinking outside the box, but it's questionable on wether this "THING" can now even turn, much less go fast through a corner.

It's a Civic body on a Corvette frame, all of the suspension, drivetrain, everything just fits on the Civic as they had the same wheel base. Of course, he had to move the dash, and make a little subframe in the back.

its basically a corvette with a civic shell on top.

the build was posted on LS1tech.com

As for whether or not it can handle. Hell yeah it can. that car is awesome. I'd rock that anyday of the week.

I followed the thread on Honda Tech. It's the entire corvette drivetrain into a EK shell.

You have to respect it because it took TONS of work. Basically cut out and re-did the enitire mid section of the car, as the LS1 has a rear-mounted tranny.

The owner is pretty ballin. He's got a Lotus Elise as his daily and I believe a built STi... he mentioned it pretty early on in the thread.

Oh, and his ex-wife was a huge hit on the boards. Lol.
