Well sort of a Mazada RX-7



I wonder why he didn't like the stock motor?

Alot of people think low end torque=power. That's a common mistake. Hell, if you drove both my stock 91 coupe and my convertible and only revved to 2000 RPM you'd probably think that my convertible was slower.

Exactly. A big tractor trailer pulls pretty hard with no load, up to a redline of about 2500 RPM. :P

well....

it would of been better had it been a nicer V8... oh say one like this



Then it would of been pretty sweet!

High redline good power and it would be very unique!



Plus the motor is lighter than a 350 so more the weight would be RX7 like then more like a RV8 ?

Isn't the SHO V8 only slightly more powerful than the V6, while adding 200 pounds? That's just what I've heard.
