Why do you have to be so dumb and act so immature ? How old are you 8?

That’s a nice Jap Corvett you got there. I don’t particularly mind LS-swaps as long as they preserve the glorious 13B. Or, you know, you can give it to me, I’ll give it a loving home inside my Miata.

Everyone says we have a nice community here and all and it is true. But still complaining about an ls swap into an rx7 and the guy passed away? Just shut up and respect someone’s build, a true car guy doesn’t hate.

This is a fantastic story. Even though i don´t like LS swapped RX7, I respect the owners decision. Some people want a light, agile japanese car with a huge american V8 engine. And people don´t realice the effort into changing an engine. Respect to Motor Trend for making the perfect petrolheds tribute
