Default turbo vette?

i was thinking, chevy chevettes are pretty common, cheap, light and rwd. for a winter beater there's really nothing better.. so i'm wondering to myself if they'd make a good drift car too... i know people use them for ice racing.. anyways, i was thinking maybe just throw a bigger carbeurator on it and a turbo from a firefly or something...

what do you think?


(yeah, i'm bored, it's sunday morning..)

Huh? Are you crazy? Where is that video of that TT GN that was making like 1076hp to the wheels while breaking the tires loose on the dyno? It doesn't matter what you put a turbo on, it still makes power.

Travis, your a retard

Turbo anything that has an engine.... its not a domestic/import thing. Yes its more common to supercharge a vette but when it comes down to the wire turbocharging is more efficient.

I say go for it, and post plenty of pics
