Schwartz Perf chassis under a Monte SS

[-83MONTESS-]

I'd put a 1JZ or 2JZ toyota motor in the car because it would still be a 6 cylinder but with a ton more power than any v6 plus the 2JZs have the ability to get up into the 1000 hp range (i'd only go 400-500 max lol). I love th build though and glad you went with this instead of the RS

Wait.... An import 6 banger over a GM LS motor??? Your high

nope i'm sober as a nun plus drugs are more expensive than fixing my gbodies lol.

I would rather the import 6 banger over a gm LS motor because 1 it' more unique than an LS motor 2 every one and their dog drops a LS motor in their cars to the point it's more played out than fart cans on civics. 3 i'd rather keep 6 cylinders than 8 especially since seeing what's happened to a lot of the cars in Forumla D

I'll always admit the LS motors are good especialy the ones that have the option to shut off 4 cylinders when ever you want to save mpg but they're just the lazy way to get HP. I would rather build a built carbed 350, 454, 383 etc than put an LS in anything I own. I also love toyota and the 2JZ motors are proven to take abuse and are less expensive than a RB motor and again I just hate the LS motor becuase it has been used so much that it has no personality to it. i'd take a tired old 350 over an LS any day in my ride but that's just me

Did my first autocross today. If you have not done this, you are missing out! The Monte and the Schwartz chassis performed great. I cannot believe the grip it had. Time to look into four or five point harness. Several of the local expets were very impressed with the attitude of the car, not my driving, and said it had amazing potential. They said I left 4-6 seconds on the track and explained throughout the day where I need to improve and gain that time. Can't wait for CarCraft.

the video comes up private. :? ...I am impressed and glad your car is not just a showpiece. I like it when a car is used for the purpose it was built. It'll take time to get your skills up, this may be a stupid question but you are driving with both your feet...you lose alot of time if you just use the right foot for the gas and brake

Video should work now.

I tried on a couple passes to use both feet and by the end of each run I was down to just the right. Seat time is needed.

thanks for that video, you looked real good out there. The two feet method will take some seat time but it will be quicker.. and please keep the videos coming..

While adjusting the rear shocks I snapped this picture. All the weight is on the jackstand. Is your chassis this stiff?
