You may or may not have seen this custom.

This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike).

Cost USD$40,000 over cost of new

Corvette C6 (MSRP USD$44,000).

PLUS all costs of getting it on road over here & RHD...

(would probably just get a modded R35 for that!)

Anyway...

The company is planning a production run of about 100 vehicles.

It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis, front styled like a '57 Chevy, side like a '58, rear like a '59.

Hence the designation '789'.

I like it, but there is something that ain't quite right...

What do you guys think?

I think you've been slapped down by photobucket, that's what I think.

Reminds me of this.

It kinda works, i'd like to see the car in one solid colour to get a better idea of its proportions.

I love the sexy 59 ass and the 57 front also looks ok. Front wheel arches need massaging and the rear half arches are too high.

Interesting.

hmm, it would seem that I have, in fact, been a recipient of said slap down.

Never mind, that is the vehicle in question. Bit bloody expensive too!

    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.
    • This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags. 
    • Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.
    • Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!
    • The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
