I would so love to have that thing! Don't exactly have the funds... Hey Leno! You need another mechanic?

It's an abomination. Abhorrent. V8s in 7s are WRONG!



20mpg? Yeah, right, downhill with a tailwind maybe.



Near 50/50 weight distribution? Uh huh with an LT1, OK.



I wish I had the money to buy it and put a rotary back in it like it should be.

Bitchin Camaro.!



Sorry had to do it, hey at least it still has the fuel injection.

eww its an auto... they should at least had the 6 speed hehe

even though it is an auto it would kill me any day of the week. I bet it oculd even kill my brother's 383 stoker Nova. FI V8 LT1 is a killer combo. And with how light that car is if it could get traction it would absolutely kill on the 1/4!

No it would not kill your brothers stroker. Even though I have read very many articles on this because it was a swap that I was seriously considering. Weight distribution is really not affected. Not anymore than me putting a 50-80lbs of turbo equipment in my engine bay.



Put a V8 up front, and a ford 8.8" in the back then you are pretty much back to 50/50.



I used to get 25-30mpg on my LT1. Partly because I could sit at basically an idle cruising on the freeway.



I agree though, I would never own a rx7 w/ a v8 if I did not have one with a rotary already.
