What is the weight again?

YBS1

Same as the S2K, give or take ~75 pounds IIRC. I'm guessing with an LS2 add another say...100, maybe 200 with total drivetrain differences and any additional bracing/parts needed to make it work. Should still come in right around 3000.

a 400 hp Saturn Sky?! Up to now, I don't think any one Saturn dealership had 400 hp total on their entire lot..

Vrooom!

I'm all for more power, less weight, etc., but if thing doesn't come in $10k less than a Corvette convertible, what's the point?

BPUKiller

I'm guessing it's going to cost at least as much as a vette convertible seeing what mallet charges for its car conversions.

I'm sure it will have beautiful weight balance too, plus its only a couple hundred pounds less than the vette...seems like a pretty retarded idea to me.

do you think the platform can handle the torque of a V8 2.5x larger than the stock engine? I'd guess this is going to need a GTO-type rear-end, too.
