    the LT5, with the Lotus/Cosworth 32v heads

    POS engine, I'd rather have a good 'ol ls6 that weighs a lot less

                Does the S38 have the same cylinder spacing and intake bolt pattern as an M30?

                              Thats the only thing in this whole thread that made my pants tighten. All aluminum 3.8 w/ itbs yum.

                              I lie, a S70 will always make it move too.

                              As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                              You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
