the new gt2 kit is much nicer and I would have one anyday

dont underestimate the v6 cosworth engine in a car that weighs that much it wont hang around

although i could have thought of better

If you build a car using a granada donor, you get a grananda engine and gearbox.

A V10 with a 6 speed box would be more authentic but they are quite hard to come by in the UK. Dodge sell the Viper's V10 in a crate to anyone who wants them. Muscle car conversions are big business over in the US.

Looks are a bit dodgy IMO. Those large wheels simply do not fill the arches enough...

Not a too bad a replica though...

To be fair the original Viper did have enormous wheel arches, though not quite that bad. The profile of that replica is just plain wrong. It makes it look very dumpy, wheras the original is quite a low, sleek looking machine.

now Ive seen the pic I agree

I know the chap reccomends the scorpio cossie didnt realise someone would fit a bog standard granada engine

Fairly normal for a Fiero factory product. It's a 'replica' as long as you aren't concerned about dimensional accuraccy, and it's more 'show' than 'go'.

What engine???
