Even more awesome, their default crate engine seems to be the LS376, which is like the standard 430 HP LS3 but with a hotter cam and another 50 HP. It should adequate for a car 600+ lbs lighter than a C6. |

It should adequate for a car 600+ lbs lighter than a C6. The fastest-accelerating car I have driven so far was a 1970 Datsun 240Z with a raced out Chevy 350 installed. I don't remember the specs, just some crazy wide wheels in the back and a 2-speed transmission. One person I know owns a RWD convertible kit car that is around the same size as a Miata, and the wheelbase may be even shorter. Not sure about weight but it has to be under 3000 pounds, and it has 550 hp/550 ft. lbs. of torque. I kind of want to drive that one just to see if I can keep the rear end behind me. :-) Pat |
