I still stand by what I said.

Dang... an LS engine weighs 395 lbs.. how much do you think that4 banger weighs???20lbs?

I'm waiting...

HAHAHAHA

I always said it fitted since Dave Hill was behind the solstice... and I knew it was that easy on the motor mounts.. what i didn't know was 95% was off the shelf parts with very little to almost no fabbing.

Dang, why don't you look it up before you tell me my thinking is subject to question? The Ecotech is in the ballpark of 280lbs fully dressed. That is a roughly 150lb addition on the front of the car for a v8 Solstice, on a car that is already pushing the 3000lb mark. Where a v8 Solstice's advantage is over a Corvette, I have no idea.

Re: LS7 Solstice

Is there any room for a turbo or supercharger!!! Or maybe alittle bit of nitrous!!! You can never have enough HORSEPOWER!!

Even if that ride was set up with some heads/cam it would sound soooo sick!

I would be on that waiting list in a heart beat
