The Z was always a cool car, but the v6 lump in it was never really that inspiring. You know what is inspiring? I think you do. The guys at ET Tuning have gone to work turning the Z into race car. They’ve dumped the VQ35 for a 724 all aluminum LSX. A F2 procharger […] More »

See, this is the type of oddity I come to Craigslist for. GM motors in German bodies. That sounds like sacrilege for both parties at first, but the reality is that the LS is a great motor in just about anything. That, and people have been swapping them into Porsches for years.

I know this might be hard to believe, but a Jeep might not be the best platform for drag racing. It’s not the worst, but compared to a Mustang, it’s easy to assume which vehicle might have the upper hand. That is, until you add an LS into the mix. Honestly, with a lot of […] More »
