I'd be super stunned if nobody has seen this yet!

Some guy is taking a 3rd generation viper motor and stuffing it into a z32 chassis! Hopefully he gets rid of those godawful wheels

Last video he's posted was in 2010...I don't know if this is being continued.

BUT...If you richer fellows happen to have 9 grand laying around, you can pick up a fully rebuilt viper motor and actually pioneer this swap so we can all

P.s. If anyone comes out with the comment, "You can get 500hp for cheaper than 9 thousand," I find it amusing when people do crazy swaps like this.

This was meant for the z32 gen chat. But i guess someone must have seen this before.

[JoeCool6972]

That is awesome! I wonder if I could stuff one in my 720 truck?

[alms24sebring]

I didnt see any gross wheels

I also hope this is updated somewhere

You can get 500hp from a KA for cheaper than 9 thousand.

You can get 500HP from a VG for cheaper than 9 thousand. But it's no V10 Yo.

True dat homie

smart-a** comment detector fail.

So easy to troll.

You can get 500hp from 2 KA's for cheaper than 9 thousand.

[300ZXttZMAN]

Wow

[numbnuts240]

i wonder how much it would cost to get 500hp out of horses...

[MellowZ32]

i wonder how much it would cost to get 500hp out of horses...

1 horse = 1HP

about tree fiddy

The answer is: Steroids.

[snwbrdr435]

That music made me want to go jump of my roof

[TTkickedin]

you can get 500hp out of a KA motor, true.

the question is, can you get 1800-2000 with a KA?

[Razi]

2000hp in a Z or S chassis will be quite undriveable and retarded.

Really? undriveable and retarded...

It is essentially almost the same car, the measurements are pretty close. soo why would having a viper motor in a z32 chassis be any different or stupid? that viper is pulling great numbers with 1900hp, given its close measurements to the z, so really whats the issue?

Specs are almost the same.

Hey, if going straight is all you want, go for it.

[Dattebayo]

Also, that thing has been tubbed and has a damn chute coming off it's as$. Probably along with 1000 other suspension modifications.

Don't bring that in here and claim it's the same thing at all.

[TTkickedin]

still a work in progress as you can tell, how do we know what hes gonna do?

That mod claimed it wouldnt be driveable... well...I proved that theory false given the z's dimensions almost mirror that of the viper, give it a tubed chassis, slicks as wide as 335 (355 which can fit under a z32 chassis with modification) as well and a parachute and it would be set to pull some decent numbers, right?

Obviously anything 2000hp + isnt going to be a circuit car, but I think a v10 z wouldn't be that bad in that department either (given it had substantially less horsepower, and THEN that would raise the topic of "well, you can get that amount of horsepower with 'X' motor."

Nevertheless, this is most likely going to be a daily driver from the looks of it. Albeit it does have amazing potential if built correctly. *edit* Not to mention if he wrecks it doing whatever type of racing he prefers, the z32 chassis is a lot cheaper than a viper chassis,and external parts are definitely more affordable...so that's a plus

I posted this because of the originality of the guy doing it, and the serious fab and electrical skills necessary to do such a thing, not because I think 'ohh that's so dope its a viper motor.' I thought you guys would enjoy it as much as I do seeing it. I don't see any harm in that?
