Pick up an old GEO Prism, they're cheaper just because they don't have the Toyota badging on them!

Hell i was thinking a ls2 chevy all aluminum engine with a rwd conversion would be a lot of fun. Lifted out of a vette or gto laugh.gif
A lot of fun alright. It seems everyone is taking advantage of these ls engines, good power and the are lightweight too, cant beat that combination.

With 400hp on tap and about 398ft-lb of torque stock what else would you need to add? biggrin.gif

How about the engine from the trd aurion? A superchtarged 3.5 liter v6 with 323hp and 300 torque? Sounds badass to me!

I'm very curious to see what the potential is going to be and what peoples minds have in store for the new Scion FR-S ... Front mounted subaru designed boxer engine, there's your torque right there ... Rear wheel drive, is drift dead in the states yet? I hope so, let the Japanese have their sport back, they're better at it anyways. I'm excited thoiugh ...I feel like people are going to do exciting things with this car. Too bad most if it will occur in the years after the warranty is over ...

Hmmm ... I wonder if I can take the turbo boxer out of my Legacy Sport and put it in the Celi ...
