This Evo is the tits...supercharged!

Ok, bro, if you say so. Why would they move it forward it makes no sense, when its a front engine car, its is always heavier in the front with the engine in it. Anyone would know that. If it lost weight in the front the evo would be closer to 50/50. So why move the engine up when it will mess up the stability? When you could leave it more tucked in for stability. Well I might just have to proof to you the the ls1 is heavier then the evo. Ok I will try to find someone or something this weekend to measure the weight of the ls1 + tranny vs the evo engine and tranny. When I get the resul I'll post up for you.

...a link to something specific would be a whole lot easier. and i hope you didn't look up a 2007 corvette for the weight specs, or a corvette period.

it makes perfect sense...if it was 50/50 stock, and you essentially lightened up the front with the lighter motor...for this example, we'll say it goes to 47/53 front/rear...if you move the engine forward, you effectively reposition the center, thus bringing the ratio closer to 50/50...so yes, it makes perfect sense...anyone would know that...even a 3y/o on a teeter totter. you're really beginning to lose your credibility with me that you know what your talking about.

and dont forget, i am not just questioning the weight of the tranny/engine here, you need to add in the weight of those axles, that transfer case, the downpipe, turbo, manifold...everything that came out for the install of the LS1.

"Total Dressed Engine Weight"

did we miss this?

[ANT813]

yes dont worry i will. evo does not come 50/50 so even with a 100lb lighter engine up front it still won't be 50/50 but will be close.

[ANT813]

why, does your engine come undressed when installed in your car and ready to drive?

[ANT813]

Yo gotta sleep now. Will give you some other figures tomorrow.

for the most part yes. i dont need the a/c, i usually wouldnt get the power steering in, but some may want it. 1LE option for the fucking win!

and you're using vette info...you might be able to snag the LS1 out of it, but your not using anything from the flywheel back in an evo. the trannies are totally different, and they are more then likely including the torque tube weight into that equation aswell.

[markzeronine]

nobody knows the evo's weight yet?

[ANT813]

Thats why I'ma find the weight for you guys. How much heavier can the vette trans be then the other ones??? Not much or it might even be lighter.

[ANT813]

Well I am sure the ls1 driveshaft is heavier then the evo's and the diff is definitely heavier then the evo.

[ANT813]

Well ac really don't weigh much.

[ANT813]

I mean i could take the ac shit outta the evo too.
