Sleepers rule.

It's gonna be hard to disguise the sound of an LS1 as a 4 banger though.

: cant be serious putting a v8 in a ff. But, the person was smart enough to make it real wheel drive. Check out the transmission and extending drive shaft stretching out all the way to the rear axle. Nice sleeper. Should been put in a Kia or something like that imo though.

Wrong.

First off, welcome to a few months ago.

That being said, it's a corvette chassis with civic body on top...read more carefully.

Yeah, Civette is a repost times a billion.

Also, there's a reason LS1's are so popular. Reliable + big power out of the box + lots of potential = The engine touched by god.

And for the power, the MPG is pretty decent

When your engine turns so slow at cruise, of course your mileage is decent. Spin an engine half the size at twice the rpm and you get about the same mileage. That's why they don't do bad.
