Here's the lowdown as I know it to be; The day I first made this post I got a PM from someone here who told me that according to a post Ratty made from another site, he has already sold his car. I guess he never even started on 'Project Brain Damage'. I for one am shocked. I really thought he was going to get this done.

Oh well, he's probably moved on to more serious performance now. I mean why bother with a puny 10 second street car when you can build an 8 second street car that gets 40 MPG right? The only downside to this of course is the massive amount of time and money needed to accomplish this. I'll bet this is going to take upwards of 3 months to get done and cost almost 2 grand. I heard the only thing holding this project back is he can't get an answer to his question 'how can I tell if my car has a rear defogger'. Once he finds out though, It'll be smooth sailing from there I'm sure.

An 10 second 30mpg car would be doable....not in a gbody. An 8 second car might be pushing it.....30mpg on the highway.

Ls swap into the 240z's run fast, the power to weight ratio really helps out.

lol...jesus christ - I just tried to read the original thread, I was barely able to make to the bottom of the first page before I could feel myself starting to go blind from the stupidity. I bet it takes this idiot an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes.
