A dark green metallic 66 Plymoth Satelitte. I use to have one. Beautiful car but the 318 was a joke.

I would have to agree with the NSX. That car could be so sick with some decent power. A twin turbo low-ish boost (to keep a good road racing power curve) LS1 would be ****.

I COMPLETELY AGREE that the Prowler would be badass with an LS1.

I always thought that was such a tough-looking car with a pussified engine.

Also Datsun 240Z ...definitely.

Very true, but both of those cars blow.

How about a Typhoon or Syclone?

Now that is the ultimate vehicle for an LS1.

I just think the NSX is underpowered. I have seen some pretty sick twin turbo ones though

AWD=More **** to break IMO

Unless you are rally racing or have a relatively stock car(low hp levels don't break ****), AWD isn't worth it IMO.

The nsx is a $75,000 car that barly runs 13's.

I say an lsx swap will turn it into a beast.

And dont give me the ricer crap, "its build for twistys"

Look at all the other cars in that price range-z06 vette,ford gt,viper etc.....all are making over 500 horses and handle beautifully
