Chevy Hot Rod (Corvette, cost, 2007, difference)

[exhdo1]

Just got this email from a friend. Anybody have any more info. on this. I think it's pretty cool looking.

This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike). Cost $40,000 over cost of new Corvette C6 (MSRP $44,000). 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".







Duh!!!! Just checked the web all the info is at n2a Motors - Home
I like it in Red and White, showed it to the wife and the answer is "NO WAY JOSE"!

Alright, let me be the first to set things straight. THATS NO HOT ROD!!!! I hate when that term gets tossed around. Thats a Corvette with obnoxiously ugly body work. In other words, the term for that car is "rolling abortion". A hot rod is built by its owner, using whatever they have lying around (as real hot rodders are blue collar and quite poor) to make the car go. Theres no fancy paint, no fiberglas, no digital dashboards, no a/c and no billet pieces on a REAL hot rod.

THIS is a hot rod. Learn the difference, please.

Your just so full of knowledge. I hope your not to stressed. Maybe you should write the definitive book about all that is automotive and save us the pain. By the way I refer you to Merriam-Webster:
Main Entry: hot rod
Function: noun
Date: 1945
: an automobile rebuilt or modified for high speed and fast acceleration
By the way, save your winks!

Looks kinda cool to me, if they only build 100 of them 99 percent of the people wouldn't know if you built it or not. Reminds me of the customs back in the 60's and 70's.

It looks like the Batmobile. The first car, that is.

How about this.... stroll up to the Hunnert Car Pileup and proclaim that POS to be a "hot rod" and watch how many knuckle sandwiches you get thrown at you. Now, if that was a 50's Bel Air, etc, then it could be considered a hot rod, but not a 2007 Corvette with panels. I hope you understand this....



A Corvette is NOT a hot rod, and that is a Corvette with some goofy 50's wanna-be panels on it. Like I said earlier, its NOT a hot rod as much as a Corvette would be considered a exotic. You wouldnt call a Corvette an exotic, would ya?
