NO--It the C4 kit shouldn't look longer--unless you think the other Ford-based kits look longer! *The C3 kit probably did look longer, though--it had a 98" wheelbase! The new C4 kit has a 96.2" wheelbase and you can order it with Ford engine mounts! Basically, this company is using one of the world's best handling COMPLETE chassis, which REALLY ought to drive down the price of the kit. I really like the idea of using the '84 C4 chassis since the '84 is the best handling vette to date:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the potential here!
