I was a total LS1 hater, till my dealership got in a C5 Z06 from Auction mid last year...I drove it 20 miles to our dealership and mygod, it completely turned me over to the darkside...

BTW, to S2Kage, dont know how much the S2K tranny weighs, butthe one out of mine is 95lbs, I know because I just pulled mine for a 6061 tranny, its pretty light and compact for a six speed that can hold 600ft lbs all day, the ones in the tranny dont have a bell housing or tail housing since they are rear mounted and bolt right to the rear end foe weight dist. with the bell housing and tail housing they are around 120,
hey xyster, I still have my T56 if you need one, let me know !

And you can't forget the Sunbeam Tiger.
Tripper Cook (ex-CCR Partner) and Ryan Renolds (ex-CCR Partner and Chief Mechanic) are currently building a second generation MX5 that is going to be making 500 RWHP (more or less), but they're using high boost, and it's must not the same as massive displacement. I love (and even prefer) engines that have to scream to make power, but torque combined with low weight really isn't one iota less fun.
