Crash33,

Sorry nothing for sale here. I was merely providing a place where a brand new LS3 based V8 could be had for cheap.

I wasn't trying to offend with my opinion of a V8 being a better option for the SL-C. It's just what I believe. Yes rotaries had thier day and are still one of the best sounding engines I've ever heard but currently how many teams are running a V8 vs. a rotary in most racing catagories. Let's not even mention aftermarket support. I also agree that Rotories are capable of making alot of HP/TQ but c'mon, Let's talk about turboing a LS based V8. They are easily over 1000HP. not that that's a very good idea for such a light car. I say if you want 5-600 rwhp stay N/A V8

BTW I believe in what I preach.
