Lm7 + ???? ok gonna try to get rid of the vette soon. (it just doesnt like me or something)
trading a nos kit for a LM7
so....
what would you do?
LM7 convertible FC RX7
RX7 anywhere from $400-$1500
swap parts $500-$700
or
LM7 Convertible third gen?
Camaro anywhere from $2000 - $3000
swap parts $200- $400
i love the way both of them look. always wanted a third gen vert and would love the WOW factor of the rx7.

I don't think you're being fair to either. Sure, you can pick up an RX7 for cheap, but you can get the Camaro even cheaper. And for a nice RX7, the prices go alot higher. As for the swap parts, the only headers you can buy fot the LSX into the third gen, they run around $800. As for headers to put the LSX into the RX7, I suspect you're on your own. The Camaro's stock rear axle will survive a stock LM7, the RX7's rear won't, unless you set the car up to always roast the rear tires instead. Sure, you could sawp the diff housing with an '8.8 from an early '90s T-bird, and get better gearing in the process, but that's more money.
