Yeah, I've heard that about the rear mount turbos. I think it was said, "Rear mount is for gay sex." But I don't know enough about turbos or gay sex to make that correlation.

That Camaro is badass. There is so much potential in that thing. I'd say the Civic had quite a bit of time and money put into it. It's fast, that can't be denied, but I'd say it's reaching the limits of it's current setup. The Camaro was, according to the video, making around 505 hp. LS1's are capable of that N/A, let alone turbocharged. And what I always love to tell the import guys that rant and rave about swapped this and twin turbo that... let's run that import STOCK for STOCK against an LS1 and see what happens
