I'm not technically building my car JUST to drag race this one guy, I just wanted to know that with the mods I had in mind that it wouldn't be murder for me. This won't be my daily driver since im keeping my old beater truck but I would like to keep it civil. Thanks for the ideas fellas.
Actually it only adds 30-50 lbs for the swap only. A LS motor actually weights about the same as the rotary motor with the heavy as twin turbos. So you are not messing up the weight distribution nor weighing the car down. I was big into the v8rx7 scene and know alot of crap about them. They are monsters that run easily into the 11s (with a stock drop in) and average around 30 mpg.
