That thing is a runner for $7500, ain't nobody going to give him anywhere more than 7... Offer him 6k and see what happens... cheaper than a crashed nice one.

I won't have another project car for some time, but it's fun to dream.

I want even more sidewall than that, and that doesn't exist for a 17 without going to a tire.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 5:44 pm17s on the rear... it'll still look better than a fucking and cost next to nothing.Detroit wrote: I want bigger sidewall too. Looking for more comfort.

it is a sports car made of plastic, sitting on leaf springs, It will never ride well period. Just enjoy it for what it is...

You can run a 28" OD tire in the rear. That's tons of sidewall on a 17" wheel, practically into territory.

Well, it diverged from the original off-road vette kart concept.

I wonder how 28" OD drag radials would ride? Probably pretty good.

Burnouts, donuts, highway pulls.
But I'm with Max, the raised is not a good idea.

I mean, I get it. He'd love to get 15k, realizes it's not realistic, but figures why not at least see if anyone really wants it. Truth is BAT is unpredictable and the selling prices can be totally ridiculous, so may as well wait for that rather than sell for 5k now.Detroit wrote:The dude is obviously a moran. I wouldn't purchase this vehicle, but the concept of a vette kart has intrigued me for a while.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 4:20 pm Fun but about him admitting it's going to bring 5K-10K on BAT but he'll take $15K today.

Can I post the old kurfets in here?
Had this FRC for a year, sold it for what I paid.
Upgraded to this:
Sold it to the original or 2nd owner for 4k more than I paid three months later. Was a fun car, but sold the day I settled on my house.
