Exomotive took the wraps off their new Exo-prototype: The Exovette. You’ve guessed it, C5 guts for an Exo car.

I think one of the important things that people often don’t realize about Exomotive cars (versus deathcarts) is that these things are actually engineered - not just backyard slapdash with the wrong angles and wrong pipe. You can really see it in the rear end with gas tank protection (one of the knocks on the Exocet) and everything.

I may have to do that. Like I was planning on doing an 818 in a few years. Now I don't care. I want that!

Seriously, if I had any chance of being able to afford that, I’d have to have one.

This is cool, i like the idea. I know its just tubes, but im not a huge fan of the look like ariels products.

I think it loo ks better as a miata build.

I can’t imagine that radiator living a long lif e . One rock at speed & it’s done for. Hope they’re not running antifreeze when on track so it’s not too big of a mess when it eventually lets go.

Crap. So, I have an LS2 in a crate in the garage and Exomotive is like 10 min from work. Find a clapped out C5 with a blown motor for direct cheep and...

Okay, I’ll be entirely honest with you - if I did it again, I wouldn’t use a donor. Yes, you can be ultra cheap if you use a donor, but if you start replacing things like bushings or wheels or tie rods or wiring or ecu or exhaust or any combination of other donor items, you’re probably going to be best off just buying the good parts from the start and foregoing the donor.
