Speed can be found in many makes and models.

As for the rest I was just joking around and that is all the point I was trying to make....

This was in this week's issue of AutoWeek. Just hope Noah or this cat doesn't pull up next to you at a red light. Just keep your eye and head forward, because if you look over you are owned.

jk
i hope this comment wasn't directed towards Punish_Her because you have no idea how fast or slow his car is.

I was just joking around. You are right I have no idea how fast anyone's car is. My point was that speed can be found in all makes and models FWD or RWD. That's all. Don't read anything more into it. I was just joking around thus the and "jk" for just kidding.

I'll go back to just patiently waiting for more pics I guess...

uhhhh......Try putting a GM motor and tranny into an import body, fabricating metal work, making it look clean and OEM, running 2 diff ecu, make everything interact between each other, etc.......what's not to be impressed about?

btw, it's just a temporary motor. He's having an LSX built, with the goal of 1400hp that's in the work now. This motor is temporary for the SEMA deadline.

ha ha I'm glad my comment really stirred the pot. I guess what i ment to say is that the LS2 just didn't do it for me, now when the LSX motor with a charger or a turbo thats a different story. Ive been watching this from the get go and yes i know its hard to swap domestic / import motors ect... I'm just saying i guess compared to all the totally modded out cars SEMA is known for i was expecting something more then just the motor swap. I'm entitled to my opinion as you guys are too. I was just being honest. I do commend anyone that pushes the Z to the next level which this is doing, who wouldn't? I like how all you guys shot me down in retaliation of my comment and my opinion, made me laugh.

Extremely interesting, clean looking project Noah!!! Will be very keen to see the end results!!!

A mate here in NZ over the last year has been working on his project a Supercharged LS1 240z. He completely stripped the body back to metal, all flossed up, painted, caged, rebuilt so many parts from the ground up, then the engine.

Having seen most of the steps he's been through and seen it pounding around the track, the strip, and doing a few rallies, can totally appreciate what you have set out to do.

Very well done you!!!! Awesome to be a ground breaker!!!!!!!!

Can a T56 tranny handle 1400hp? Can a Nissan LSD handle that much power/torque? It will be interesting to see.

Just got back from SEMA. Noah's car is AMAZING! The workmanship is above and beyond what I expected to see. The pictures do no justice to what a great job that was done building this car.

God damn that's nice... I want to hear a sound clip and see some dyno results... I'll bet it's fun to drive even with the LS2 in the chassis.
