Ive decided to transplant the new TwinTurbo V12 (going into the new mercedes SLK coming out pretty soon) into my 94Z. Also planning on buiding a carbon fiber chassis for my car to lighten it to the ~2500LBS of the SLK. Might as well throw some magnesium rims on there as well. Might try to adapt an AWD system to fit into a 4th gen fbody while Im at it.

My point.....i might as well spend the $200+K on the real thing, not turn another car into what you want. Youd be muchhhh better off buying an LS1 car and putting an LT1 front bumper and hood on it.

Edit, I was thinking about the new S65 AMG engine, but I was thinking about the new SLR with a 550hp blown V8 with that weight.

Haha, what car is that? I like the analogy of a mercedes engine better though, much more work involved with all their sophisticated computer systems. Plus 700+ HP and like 800+lb/ft tq
