LS engines are at least pretty light for what they are.

Hanging an extra ~350lbs off the front end of the car tends to have an adverse effect on handling.
I agree and all though it doesn't make sense, I just want to see them shoe it in! Next thing you'll see is someone try and stuff an LS9!

I can't wait to see one that is turbo'd with the stock motor! That's going to be sick!

I love the 2JZ engine. I guess some companies don't want to take their time and work on the FA20 engine. Maybe cause they want to be ready for the racing season.

Looks fantastic lowered as they have it here, but wheels need more wide! That, or a lower offset for a much more flush look.
*Referring to the car in the video*

Obviously their isn't too much aero there, but I think it's a splitter more than a lip. I like it tho

Edit: well according to the video it is an aero piece

Yes while the swap is awesome, its a bit disappointing that some companies are not developing the FA20

And very compactly packaged. An all-aluminum LSx will always be a relevant engine swap in any engine bay it will fit.

I gotta see this. It's just a waiting game seeing how the stock Boxer engine will does; plus the add-ons parts to see the real performance behind it.

The 2JZ will be nuts!!! Good opportunity to see.
