Think they'll make a swap kit for the Z anytime soon?

And Lethal Performance slapped a SC on a 5.0 Coyote and ran 1/4 in 9sec.

But I'm not interested in that... it's about going around a track with twists and turns. Adding weight to the front end screws that up.

It always seems to be a cycle... starts with the Europeans, then the Japanese, until the Americans catch up. Right now it's the Americans. Everyone else needs to start again. It will happen... I think the Europeans will start with an affordable v6 with electric motor assist. Then the Japanese, hopefully Nissan, which leaves the Americans trying to play catch-up again. Over and Over... we get to reap the rewards!
