yeah my LS2 is rated 28mpg highway, and thats in a car 500 lbs heavier so I'll bet you could get almost 35mpg in that thing.
And 400hp on pump gas.
DOIT!

Drop it into a 2nd gen, probably cheaper overall and definitely more rare and bad ***!

nope, 3rd gen was the only one I liked, still one of the best looking sports cars ever made IMHO

This is my thoughts exactly. Plus, there is nothing that handles like an FD (LS changes things slightly, the oomph/etc is fully worth it) and that suspension... Mmmm... So purdy.

Nice pick up on the FD.
Just put a PowerFC in my Silvia, got it for $780 new/shipped.

PM me if you are looking for a place to buy from.
(Had to order mine from the states as the price of a Power FC here is almost double....)

I hate this thread. I can't help but browse through the online ads for a nice FD. Then they all end up being overly modded or auto trans... or both

After 3 years of AWD I've been getting the FR platform itch.
