How much fun is it possible to have in a 1955 Chevy Bel Air?
First thing I did was a basic low-budget Corvette drivetrain swap, using a 6.2l LS3 and a 6sp gearbox. No fancy stuff just a soft "realistic" suspension, street-tyres and a healthy 450hp V8 =B700. Code 151 650 304
Off course no wings, rollbars, stock hood and sleeper wheels. Rusty barnfind paintjob![Cool :cool: :cool:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/cool.svg?v=3)
A nice ride this, but I wanted to try something a bit hotter. 660hp now and a bit moore grippy tyres, nothing else changed
brings it up to A800: Code 748 529 910
But for maximum fun it needs an all out upgrade. 1750hp TT V8, AWD, 8sp gearbox and tuned diffs but still the same soft suspension-setup. No wings or rised hood, bumpers still on and a rusty barnfind design makes it the ultimate sleeper. Must be driven in 1st person view if you want to get in touch with the handling. Passes 300kmh on 5th, 400kmh on 7th. A lot more fun this than any hyped up hypercar!
