Why would anyone ever pay for a V8 conversion?
FM has had several buyers for their "all new parts" V8 conversions at $29,999 + an NB. The question is why when you can pitch the same check and pick this up for the same $29,900?
Only 7K miles. I like. Cars for Sale: 1997 Dodge Viper GTS in Hollywood, FL 33021: Coupe Details - 274486380 - AutoTrader.com |
Anybody who spends $30k on a V8 swap in a Miata is an idiot anyway. It can be done for 1/4 that. FM might make good stuff, but they are damn proud of their parts.
The price I have come up with is $7500-$8000 using a swap kit from either FM or BossFrog, an LS1, trans, diff, new clutch, associated exhaust and other hardware. So $8,000>>>$30,000 |
If you're willing to spend that much for a v8 Miata you probably got a shit load of money and a new Viper.

Id take the viper over a V8 miats
|
so what you're saying is....
the miata should get the viper v10? |

Judging by their shipping prices, they're awful proud of that too.
|
Yeah that viper isnt a scam.
|
Even though the odometer is rolled back, a blue and white GTS has been my dream car since i was 10 which is when it came out for me. That car is damn sexy, and would have one over a v8 anything anyday. I can't say i have seen a gts that low, but i frequently see RT/10's in that price range.

So, what you're saying is that you'd take this: http://bjmotors.biz/images/inventory...2/large_01.jpg over this: http://www.freewebs.com/ferrariporsc...rari%20F40.jpg |
Given the relative price differences, I would myself.
Point taken though :) |
id rather replace the Chevy parts when they fail over the Ferrari ones.

for someone who has no idea about cars... 30k might not seem so bad, a brand new miata costs that anyway.... so why not buy a good shell and end up with a brand new fast and reliable one.
|
Yes, the viper, I like ferraris,but the viper is ftw, and I will take mine with 2 turbos please.
