theres the engine bay, good luck with that. I think you would be lucky to get a 3800 series in there let alone any size V8.
yep. whos got a plasma cutter, an LS1, and a T56 lying around? Lets make it happen. That would be a great project car for GMI first car!!! 450hp, supercharged LS1 6spd.Originally posted by 91z4me@Jan 12 2004, 03:27 PM

yeah, but probably not a Small block V8 like we want.. probably some weak limp OHC v8 thats like 2.5 liters pushing a shade under 200Originally posted by sykboy@Jan 12 2004, 06:07 PM
I guess someone didn't read that Vuaxhall wanted to put a V8 in it and GM said no. Guess they didn't know what they were thinking, did they.
ahahaha! yep, a V8 is a V8!Originally posted by sykboy@Jan 12 2004, 06:16 PM
But hey, its a V8. So, it can be done.![]()
FYI guys that is the show car from 2 years ago not the production car. The production car has a much different engine bay.Originally posted by Nocturn_Bird@Jan 10 2004, 06:59 PM

So- all that stuff between the bumper and engine is mainly for crash protection?Originally posted by bigals87z28@Jan 12 2004, 02:48 PM

Well you have to understand there are tradeoffs for everything. People don't usually purchase a small sports car for its safety, because a car like this would get crushed under an SUV just due to the inertia of the impact the car would be in pieces especially since most of it is composite or plastic material. However in a small sports car, its much easier to avoid an accident. You be the judge as to which is safer in your manner of driving I guess...Originally posted by BBcamaroSS@Jan 12 2004, 09:26 PM
When you look at it. That car has no real protection. If you got hit from the front or the side. you'd be wrecked and your car would be destroyed as well. i'd still buy one tho hehe
