Thread: Need opinions

I think rotary engines are one of the coolest engines out there. want more power? oh just add a rotor and if you want boost it! I vote turbo GP, honestly i think it would be a way cheaper project and you can drive it every day if you have to. Think about all the parts you will need for something like an Ls1 240, Ls1 motor, custom rear (my money says a stock one will shatter), some type of drive shaft, probably some custom way to mount it. Imo there would be so much custom fabrication on something like that, you would probably said and done spend double than expected. Not trying to put you down on it or anything, if you really want, Go for it!, I think it would be an awesome car but just not practical.

There are countless threads on 240 forums of people who left the stock rear and nothing has happened yet. The ls1 is easy to come by, and if I have to I could buy a cheap lt1 It sure is alot of work but there are also people who have done it in under 24 hours (jealous) But either way this has almost been a 50/50 and no one has suggested anything else :P
