Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - LNF vs. K20A: Comparison Proving GM's Misperception

I found it interesting that they took the LSJ our of the Ariel Atom and replaced it with the K20A. Part of the reason for that was that the LSJ was too torquey off the bat for that light car and people had trouble controlling it (or so I understand). It's a shame the LNF didn't replace the LSJ. I saw that the LSJ is making it to the Fisker Karma though- which is a very high profile introduction for a new manufacturer.

I agree though. I know you won't see it in times like these, but a stretched Kappa or whatever the Solstice sits on turned into a small sedan with the LNF and RWD and good suspension tuning would light up the magazines like nothing else. If they did a good job on the interior and kept it to $25ish it would be almost a shoe-in for 10 best lists, etc.
