Here is the deal they put an engine in there that is at it's peak for perforamnce, and spent a **** ton of money doing it, plus it sounds like a ****** reatrded 6 cylinder you want to chirp all the gears turbo a LSx and you would have spent less money and built something with more power and are not maxing your potential for the engine.

It is not my cup of tea at all I have respect for supras that come with the 2jz engine but not in an american car. Would you put a cobra engine in your camaro? maybe maybe not. Same thing. Ohh well someone bought it and its there ridiculous ride now.

I guess the thing I'm mostly reacting to is the zenophobic attitudes of F-body & Y-body owners. Your response is reasonable and gets your point across without slurs, therefore it actually is listened to.

As for engines in "the wrong car", would you hate an LS1 crammed in a 280z? A 5.0 stuffed in a Miata? How about an LS7 stuffed into an RX7?

I wouldn't buy that Camaro, but I'm not going to hate it because of an engine choice, easily paintable body or pipes. I can hate on the price, though...
