    "Different" wouldn't be entirely accurate, I like it, but needs a little more creativity on the hood.

    I love american V8 powered cars, no matter the car maker. V8 RX7's, 240sx's, 240Z's, 300ZX's, etc.

    I love my American powered Import. :)

    I remember seeing somewhere where a guy took an older 80's Toyota MR2 and stuck a 300+ horsepower Cadillac Northstar V8 in it. Now THAT would be a ride. That car weighs about 500 pounds more then my Fiat, plus whatever a Northstar V8 and transmission weighs vs. a half aluminum 302, but it's a rear engine car, so with a rear mounted V8 back there planting the wheels down, it would have to haul ass.

    Interesting, it would have to have a real lumpy cam also, you know just sound really pissed off to be running under 4000 rpm.
