That 6.2L V8 can be had from a wrecked Camaro for less than $6000 and you're a cam swap away from 520hp. |

Me too would be a real shame to waste one like this...
And what would they have done with the engine out of the swap put it in a chevy? lol And really? Bavarian MOTOR works, trying to underline the motor part. Good god what is this world coming to. (Currently hyperventilating in a paper bag) |

Oh and NASCARs don't have mid-mounted engines, 6spd sequentials, or suspensions calibrated to turn right. |

OHV V8 is overrated. It is simply easy, that is all. Not so good volumetric efficiency vs other designs. Also, it's been developed for so long that it is easy to get high quality "go fast" stuff. This V8 was likely tuned for race gas only. Does anyone know the real price of that motor? I hear cheap a lot but it's not as cheap as you would think to do a good OHV V8 NA build for serious road-track ready power. |

The idea/concept of the car seems ok but that looks like someone tried to build their own BMW...and failed. (It looks like any sort of strong wind could rip it apart..lol)

Ugly as hell.
Why is the reason to have GM engine with a couple of pieces trying to be an 1M? In that case is better to fit a Chevy Cruze fiber glass widebody on top of that chassis..

As a BMW fan I frown upon that not having a Bavaian V8.
As a Ford guy born and raised I say what the actual fuckin hell? What the shit is that POS camaro motor doing in that crappy ass thing? |
