STK 2083 1988 Chevrolet Sprint Turbo Go-Kart If you would plan to
build a true street sleeper, what car would be the best cover? Plymouth
Valiant – don’t think so. Ford Fiesta – probably not. Chevrolet
Metro/Sprint – yes, perfect. The Sprint was an econo-box offered by GM
back in the ‘80s. Back then, it was powered by a three-cylinder
engine – not exactly a boulevard cruiser. This 1988 Sprint was
professionally reconstructed from the ground up in 2007. Fatman
Fabrications, Charlotte NC, built a custom square-tube street rod frame
that incorporated the unitized body. They used Macpherson strut front
suspension and Nissan truck brakes. The differential is a narrowed Ford
9†with Detroit Truetrac and 2:50:1 gearing. The engine is an
all-aluminum, twin turbo 402ci dry-sump small-block built by Duttweller
Performance, Ventura CA. Only the best components were used: Brodix
block/heads, Comp roller-cam, forged crank/rods, CP pistons, twin
Precision Turbos and Big Stuff3 EFI. This engine dynoed at 954 BHP on
pump gas. The transmission is a GM TH350. This is a one-off monster and
it’s street-legal. Every aspect of the build is fully documented
(including dyno sheets). Back in October 2013, Hot Rod Magazine
published a nice piece on this Sprint in the Wrenchin’@Random section.
They were impressed. This little Chevrolet needs to be seen to be truly
appreciated. It is an engineering marvel. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS
ISâ€.
Logged in, thought the price was a typo, read the listing, saw twin turbo, 400cid, tubbed, gutted Swift with no roll cage or fire suppression, still think its a typo.
Nancy Reagan and Whitney Houston were right
"just say No!"
"Crack is Wack!"
Thanks for taking my suggestion! Keep it up DT!

This is hilarious. No its not worth 45k, but its still awesome. Would be better with a time slip, of course you'd only get one run and they'd tell you not to come back without a cage. Or maybe they wouldn't let you run at all… which is probably why there's no time slip
That's alot of oomph out of them 3 cylinders
Big engine in the front, big turbos in the rear. This probably has so much turbo lag that it is only driveable by the clairvoyant.
