That's quite old, I saw it about 7 years ago!! It's a "Pontiac LeMans" and I think it's actually in America.

Only 245BHP though, not the random 381 they've pulled out of midair.
Ace bit of work someone's done there, though!
I've always thought the C4 was a great base for a rod or project like that, I'd love a completely paired-down, simplified and clean one or one with I dunno, like a 34 body on it. Been done quite a lot though, so it does work. Sometimes not so well....

Hmmmmmm Doesn't sit right to me. Something looks a bit 'off' about it.

For some reason they've moved the rear wheels forwards - see  With the stock wheelbase it would be a winner for me but imo the proportions look bloody awful with the wheels moved. Matt |

Its an awesom bit of engineering but as stealthstylz has said the proportions are wrong.
It looks as if they have kept the car from the bulkhead back and moved the rear wheels forward and lengthend it behind the front wheels too. Would have looked beter stock.
Needs brought up to date with a bit of strech, poke and hit with the stick
