Wanting another car.

[Brother Kam]

I drive a turbo civic right now, it's fun and reliable and what not but I want something RWD. Whether or not it's american I plan on putting an LSX swap into it unless it's already got a V8.

Cars I was considering:
03-04 cobra
240z with an LS1
240sx with an LS1 (having to deal with BAR on that would probably suck)
82-92 camaro


I have a 1980 datsun 720 pickup I was thinking about dropping an SR20 into, it already has an L20B that's running in decent shape but I want something with a little bit more balls. I could also theoretically swap a small block into that, it has a divorced transfer case.

I would prefer independent rear suspension as well. Thoughts? Comments? No I don't care which make you prefer.

Just get the corvette or the TA WS6, you apparently want one
that's pretty obvious, stop tryna ruin an import and get the car you want

Wut. SR20, balls. Wut wut.

Jokes aside, I don't think BAR would be too difficult with an LS swap into a 240sx? The engine is legal, chassis is legal. What's there for the BAR to reject?

Ether 240 or the a camaro you can get a rs body cheap and parts for the 240 sx are too.

The new M5 is really cool, but if you want an M3 with a V8, you better buy one soon, 'cause the new one will have a twin turbo straight-6.

It's going to have more balls than the L20B. I don't really feel like sourcing a DOHC head for that thing.

I was also considering a Corvette but I dunno. The main reason I'm considering the sacrilege of putting domestic power into import is because I like the LSX series of motors a lot and I like the import chassis more. Smaller, rear independent suspension, and the look of them. I'm aware there are domestics like that but I prefer those from over the big water.

I'd really like a gutted and caged camaro with a custom dash and everything though, weight is my concern with that. How heavy are they typically if you strip them down to essentials? Oh and I need stereo to avoid going insane on the road.


Edit: Oh, and I'm used to going to my local BAR with imports, which the techs I get always hate. I'm just not stellar with wiring is all so it'd be a hassle for me unless I buy a drop in kit.
