I had a quick read of it up the local garage earlier - looks very mean and a had nice write up.  Nice work!

It\'s the LS1 conversion from the monaro and was pushing 500bhp and 500ft/lb if I remember correctly?

How does the RX-7 with V8 handle compared with a Supra (assume both have suspension upgrades)? I mean, some say that the handling is lost when removing the 13B but how bad is it really?

I have been in this car but Craig likes to clutch kick it even when in a straight line so we were allways sideways, which makes it difficult to evaluate its handeling :) . The research I have done shows no increase in weight at all although the weight itself sits a little higher. No suspension mods are needed to compensate the difference realy is that small. A poorly set up rotary rex will handle a lot worse than a well set up ls1 rex. There are lots of cars out there bouncing off their bumpstops with crap geometry (my car was like this when I first got it but the last owner was waxing lyrical about its handeling:2Confused ) and the owners probably don\'t know what these cars are supposed to be like any way, so all this talk of lost handleing is a bit mute with so many cars out there with 15 year old shagged bushes etc.

By the way I have fell in love with my rotary and intend to keep it but looked into this seriously a while back before my single turbo car. Excuse spelling/moodiness etc. but im tired.....ahhhhh.
