There are fanboys and idiots on every forum... even this one.
I don't know what you're talking about. :ninja:
I understand what you are saying Jim, I'm just letting ya know what is out there for swaps. I have always wanted to swap an LSx into a small light vehicle like that. From what I understand is that most of the guys use the swapped cars for autocross and road courses. If the swap made it such a bad handling vehicle, why would they purpose build them for going around curves?

I've seen tons of V8 swap cars at the autocrosses. We have been to hundreds through the years. They accelerate like mad and stand on the brakes and push like a dumptruck through the corners, then slam the throttle and come out sideways... They make a lot of racket, and I'm sure they have fun. They really think they are flying but they are rarely on the leader board at then end of the day. The same goes for most Corvette, Mustang, and Camaro drivers. Autocrosses are not won by tire smoking sideways drifting... That's all for show.

A talented driver in a Honda S2000 usually posts the best time unless there are some really well setup "prepared" class vehicles there.


I see. There must be lots of Tahoes taking home trophies.
:facepalm: , :lol:

A fair amount of progress has been made in the mechanical (getting things into good shape) department. The carb is apart and soaking in the garage right now. Nothing very visible yet.

Any more solid ideas yet on what you are going to do?

Well... I did snag a set of 15 inch Panasports for it. They are going to be sent out for refinishing in silver. They are gold.

I haven't seen one of those in years. That thing is in pretty decent shape for its age. :thumbs:

Yes but those look like 13s. Mine have more lip and are larger diameter... or so it appears. Those might be 14 or 15. Hard to tell.
