At the end of the day it's just a mid 80's post CARB v8. Sure it may have been advanced for it's time, but these days it's just an uninteresting, inefficient hunk of metal. Now, if you took a super clean C4 shell and put a modern LS/LT (something like a Texas Speed LS3 or LSX 427), gave it modern coilovers, ignition, and fuel system...maybe with flex fuel so you could run both pump gas, E85, and race gas, i'd be all over that. But at that point you're 50 grand into the project, and there are so many better cars you can get for that money. --- Ryzen 3800x, 6900XT, 32 gig, 970pro, Asus Strix x570-E FC: SW-8431-3263-1243 <cite>pogo_rabid posted [p:961328794] in Would you ...
