Because it's not worth it. Take a c6 corvette : 30k Take the body kit: 30k That's 60k for a corvette with a body kit. Here's some better options at 60k The c8 corvette A Porsche 911 A v8 audi r8
I'm surprised Matt didnt get some big offers from auto companies for their design departments. He really does a great job! This is certainly a tribute to the old stingray lines.
The c8 destroyed the kit car market imo, most kit cars use the c5/c6 platform and are going to cost you more than 60k... just get the c8 which looks amazing, way better than any kit car and worthy of super car status
@@whoisbotsman 30k+ wheels, tires, paint, interior etc etc etc. From the sound of it all they are doing is putting on the body kits and leaving everything else as an old dusty c6 so yea that really not a good deal overall.
Regis Sanders can’t you just throw in a new motor, a turbo charger and a few other performance items to make your Vaydor perform as good as it looks? I don’t know much about cars so that is why I’m asking
@@S.R_Productions yeah you can, but then you'd be paying all that extra work done on top of the body kit. Easier to just get a car that already has the performance

The interior remodel is worth it to me. I’m cool with a normal c6 exterior and opening the doors to see that interior. They should have gone after a cheaper corvette in my opinion. Older vettes will still take a lot of power and would benefit more from the kit.
I would agree that $30k would be overpriced for JUST the kit, but with install, it's not that bad. It's FAR more than just a "body kit". I've spent $5k on a bodykit that only includes side skirts, fenders, and front/rear bumper and the installation was also about $5k. Absolutely the labor on this is worth at least $10k. And as far as performance mods go, if your donor car is a Z06, that's fairly beefy and even though it's only 505hp, you can crank that up to 600 or so with minor bolt ons, which you would do anyway if you were doing this kit
You will have over $100,000 in it by the time you finish it . Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t actually around $125,000 for a decent build. I’d as soon have the C8 which will definitely kill about any C6
Almost did one until I factored in insurance. Comically high for kits with limited parts where you basically have tk replace the whole body. Brand new C8 becomes cheaper option.
If money was never an issue, I would get the Valarra; just for the fact that it looks like an awesome hotwheels car came to life (and the customization options in gives). Realisticly, the C8 is way more responsible purchase. The Valarra looked so sick though, damn.
the thing i would do if i got the velara i would add better tires put a engine from a c7 or c6 corvette zr1 inside of it to replace the stock engine to make it faster
@@IdealMediaChannel They aren't sold in the UK where I live and also a corvette would have to be imported from somewhere else as there are no c6 corvettes in the country
Yeah I would buy a 911, Cayman, Jaguar F-Type R, or SVR than paying import safety costs, only buy Naturally Aspirated ( N/A) or Supercharged, Mustang GT 5.0 Performance Pack 2, then add supercharger go from 460 Bhp to 725+ Bhp
mg boi I live in maldives and people have to import cars because there is no car dealership and people have to pay the government the same price you paid for the vehicle and because of that only 5 supercars in the entire country
Me thinks you’ll be waiting months and months for this to be finished. I would suggest having the body done by valarro and then shipping it to Nelson Racing Engines for a motor swap. These 2 companies combined could create the most unique car ever
I'd pick a wrecked c6 with the frame and engine still attached which could be $2000 to $8000 then buy the kit which will cover the exterior and interior costs
Honestly i've looked on AutoTrader, Seen a 2001 Lamborghini Gallardo going for 86,000$ But i'd gladly take a Vaydor kit car over it. Probably won't be able to buy one for another 20 years. I've got a pretty awesome retirement plan going thanks to a monthly investment plan "compound interest" all out growth portfolio and plan on buying me a nice car at 45 along with a 1965 Nova or a Chevelle 1965-70 preferably.
C8 though, wait for the the issues of new configuration to be ironed out.... beware though, transmission fluid not completely, full from GM on C8. needs 2 quarts, which cost $50 each, need this if you plan to race it. I noticed prices of C6 go up after this video another $10K
Ive been watching a Vaydor build on here, and wouldnt want them to build me one. I dont see them doing all the detail work needed to make sure it holds up.
I would rather have a c6 corvette Valarra but the problem is, are there wheel spacers? or are the wheels extended, and I would definitely put a new engine in it most likely an ls7, a twin turbo set, and all that even if I do touch six figures, it just transforms the car, or if I wanted to so bad, I can buy a salvage Ferrari or something that has an exotic noise and put it in the Valarra, making it a whole different car that is just on a c6 corvette chassis.
this would've been genius before used cars went through the roof. those vettes used to be sooo fucking cheap, but are still quick on the track. this is much better than the g35 which is like putting a kit on a camry.
They should have made a G37 kit, then tooling would have still been cheaper and the over all build. I do like the look of the new one but it's a vette. Completely different. If it had to be a vette they should've went with a C5 to make it more affordable. Shoulda been a G37 and partner with Z1 Motorsports. Then donors would only be like $8k-$12k. This vette kit is just a glorified Body Kit. Not even the same thing as the previous kit.
Valarra over C8, to credit the C8, it has slightly better styling. And you can put nitro on it.The Valarra can, I'm sure, rip off 1200 horsepower or more- it would need to.
From getting a bit of seat time in a 1lt C8 then trying to look out the back that $100,000 entry into supercardom is the best bet. It has absolutely no view out the back just like all the $300,000 + mid engined super cars.
Yea a new Corvette would be the smartest thing to do. I hope they make a future Stingray kit with actual engine mods add a couple of electric motors making it awd. That would be a game changer. I would imagine 0-100 in sub 2 seconds
I understand upping the price but I wish they would just sell the kit for 10k-15k max. 30k is too steep imo epecially since its not painted, not wheels, and no tires.
If I had 50-60k lying around, I'd probably try for an actual performance car. Not that I don't love the c6, but if you want a corvette, you can just buy a c8. If I had a c6, I'd probably do it, but I don't
I'm not crazy about building one from scratch but I would pay top dollar for one already built I just don't know where to find someone or any car companies with one.
