SLC LeMans???

[Allan]

Do my ears deceive me? That is running on 7 cylinders, right?

Running on all 8, remember it is its actual first start so it needed to warm up and get everything used to running.

 

[Cam]

Sound like all 8 with a nice lopey cam. Is that the ls3 480 or 525?

 

[Keith]

Well that does it for me. If that is 'normal' 8 cylinder GM then I'll stick with the Coyote. Mind you, I can't stand that damned Subaru Boxer either.

Sorry chaps, it doesn't sound like any 8 cylinder motor I've ever heard, but perhaps it's my iPad. Sorry for thread drift..

Carry on...

 

[Jack]

Keith, the engine computer has to "learn". Those LS engines really do sound pretty good.

 

[Keith]

If you say so Jacques mon ami......

Sounds kinda blah to me too in the video.

Here's mine on first start. It sounds the same now as it did then, lol, cam isn't going to change as it breaks in

Very loud for such a tiny engine.

Don't worry, Katech fixed the displacement issue for my 917's engine

Must've been burning some funny stuff.. That last rev painted the car blue and stuffed the engine up front!!! :stunned:

 

[jonathankorenesq]

Alex, I love that engine sound and color. Where can I get that paint? I thought is was Ferrari F430 "Dirty Snow" white. Can you confirm?

 

[Jack]

I believe Alex's car is polished white gelcoat.

Any updates? There has got to be a LeMans at or near completion. I'm dying to see one complete. Sadly I'm still living vicariously through other peoples builds LOL......

There will be a nice one at Charlotte Autofair this weekend... There is a thread all about it.

No doubt there will be pictures taken and posted.
