Fun. I know personally that the SVX is a slug. I like my teal for a daily, has enough get up and go to be a good street car and keep up with th pace of traffic. My silver on the other hand is my "fun" car which means it will not have 230hp ever again... Sorry man but I love these cars and I wouldn't want to drive anything else. So, I will do what I want to it to make it what it should be to me.

To all others thinking about swapping engines in. Get a grip!! Your Ls1 swap will cost you over 10k when you are done. I highly suggest you contact Longassname for some more power for half the price. Unless you are EXTREMELY good at fabricating precision subframe mounts you are going to spend a lot of money having a professional do it the first time around or tearing what you did to pieces and redoing it
