Who has the most impressive kit car on here?


bj928 - 3/3/12 at 01:41 AM

apparently a lot were impressed by my viper powered 7 replica with a 2004 viper v10 engine, but alas the engine is now in a sierra cosworth 3dr, but all is not lost, the plan is to fit a much more powerful engine over the next couple of years and make it 4x4

as it was with viper engine

Depends on your definition of 'impressive' but Mr Hicost takes quite a lot of beating in terms of car/history/what he's done with it - Mr Ison and the Isonblade is another contender......... if you want 'because you can' impressive there's the bloke with the Viper engine but that's not impressive imho he just managed to make it fit in the car.....

Edited to say: yeah Viper man beat me to it.....That big an engine needs a bigger car but whatever

i agree, it was just a case of making it fit, so now i'm pushing the limits, 4wd v8 with a genuine 1000hp+, having to go v8 to give me room for the front diff and shafts, got it all planned, just need to put it into practice. the engine and hp is the easy bit, getting the running gear to take the power and work is the iffy bit, but i think it will be ok

TrevD? awesome looking car Fozzies car is awesome too........Hicost with his Cosworh turbo engine still does it for me tho simply because of what he's done and where he's been with it........

Madteg's is quite impressive, for the Stainless steel chassis AND the the bonkers power from a Zetec.

Then of course there's Snuggs' Viento for the prep work he's done with the injection on it AND those exhaust's.

Well being perfectly open and honest my car is the best car i have driven.

i have not driven any others though.

Hicost's car has probably cost the most ! but it is a very quick car, and incredibly smooth,
Thankfully he didnt use the nitrous when i went in it,

Fozzies car is real nice, and the old Ison blade was bonkers

I don't think the guy who bought my car is a member on here

The guy from somewhere in europe who's got a nice ally body on his car would be my choice ATM.

Jabbahutt's car for me.

Although i am impressed with others





TBH it was my desktop background as well at some point

When you start a 'doggiest of dog-rough cars' thread, give me a shout.

I really like this:

Hicost possibly makes me green the most. Keep them coming. Be interesting to see the Viper project in V8 guise when its done...
