Default Ls1 Evo

Found this on another forum and thought I'd pass it along. Interesting to say the least. No EVO should sound like this though. LS1 EVO

wow...there's an EVO swap thread floating around here. I think I said that I didn't like it that much, but after seeing this and hearing it, I definitely have since reformed my opinion. Now, I still don't think that I would own one, but that's pretty sick.

funny thing is that the owner is just loving all the comments on you tube!

the car should have the solid rear end conversion done in a week or so.
he already has the torque arm built and the rear mocked up , just a matter of finalizing the brakes and a few other things .

You know...I try not to even read those things, because I get so frustrated. People who leave worthless comments on things like youtube or break.com are a waste of space. I know its just the internet, but Ide like to grab some of those people, pull them through the computer, and throw them a beating.

On topic... I was hoping to see an AWD solution pop up for the EVO swap. The guys seemed pretty positive it was going to happen. Im just thinking how much fun it would be to AWD launch with a built LS1...or maybe with alittle FI added to it. That would be fuuuuuuun....
