I agree, even I say &quot;motor&quot; when it comes to racing. Pisses me off when I do it,though

I'm sure there are thousands of &quot;real&quot; high-dollar cars that this is all that's really left of the original car.

Re: Hypothetical Question
 

In my opinion I feel that a skeleton such as this is the most basic and stripped down portion of the original car. But as such, being the original skeleton I feel that there is some reason to believe this is still the original car. I would feel this is more of the original car even if all the required body panels were replaced rather than taking a new body and transferring the tags and drivetrain to it.

A skeleton is the foundation for anything living or in most cases something that has been assembled. Once the skeleton is no longer there - the original item is lost.

Re: Hypothetical Question
 

Point, and the skeleton theory is the reason I used mine rather than switching tags or a dynacorn shell.

If the steel parts are the skeleton, I would call the original driveline the soul of the &quot;supercar&quot;.

After all, the bodies from a 6 banger and a ZL1 are exactly the same. It was the driveline and suspension that made a ZL1 special as opposed to other camaros.

I know it's not a popular theory......

In the end it does not matter as long as the buyer and seller are honest and both pleased with the deal.

Re: Hypothetical Question
 

Motor is not exclusive to electricity. I had to build a mousetrap powered car in school. Is the mousetrap a motor or an enigne?

engine: (n) motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.

motor: (n) machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy and so imparts motion.
