Since when is the LSx from ford? He was right, its a GM/Mazda.

 

Sarcasum, Mazda is ford... Hence what I meen, step back while the grown folks talk

 

Mazda is ford ?

lol... Not totally on this one.

 

Mmmhmm

Mazda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

An automatic convertible? He saved about 200lbs over a Z06, cool swap....but why? Kinda like the guys who swap in a LS1 into a SN95 Mustang and try to sell them for 10k when the chassis has no weight or handling advantage over a regular fbody.....shoulda just left it in the Camaro. A lot of hard work for minimal advantage, i do like the ls1 in a 240 tho, u can pick up the motor for $1500, a nice shell for a grand, and for under 5k you can run dam near 10's with stock motor and bottle.

 

I said not this time. Besides, they own stake in them and they use some of each others shit, not all. This is Ford free if I'm not mistaken.

 

the rx7 is ford free. the original engine and the car were built in hiroshima japan.

 

Great car and great thread ruined by the great TR!

 

did you expect anything less from TR? lol

 

Just my opinion here, but I think the FD is the best looking 2 door coupe sold in america. I have always wanted one, just not with a rotary. Secondly, I've driven a 2000 camaro, and it had so many rattles, cracks in the dash, horrible interior, and every redneck has one. Corvettes arent mush better in any of the above catagories. I looked at C5 Z06's and the cheapest one I found was $20k which is a good bit more than I paid for this, I went and drove it and didn't like anything about it other than the hp. The most common question I get asked when driving, is what kind of car is that? I love that its so rare, people dont even know what it is. The next thing they can't believe is that its nearly 18 years old.
I've had 240's with KA-t, SR, and RB... before all the fanboys jumped on the bandwagon. Had I not owned so many, and if I had a small budget, I'd probably look to do what you suggested.
