Question, how old are you?

I'm 23 in may...it was just an idea I had thinking of the Pegasus Show Car from 1970 something, which was a Firebird with a Ferrari V-12, to do a modernized version of it. Using that car as inspiration. The 550's V-12 might not change the handling too much. Its smaller than a 350 and might be comparable in weight as well, if not lighter; if I recall its an aluminum engine. I am not ruling out a 6 speed C4 vette or an early Viper by any chance either.
Its not too crazy considering its already been done, abliet with a second gen and an earlier V-12 Ferrari engine. I was thinking maybe 10 years down the road but by then there are chances that it will never happen...so the Viper and vette are probably more likely to be done than that.
I am still thinking of creating a 383 stroker car with a targa top and a 1LE setup and maybe coil overs. Naturally if I do that I will probably use SFCs and a cage. But first I need to finish the 84 TA....
