LS engined coupe - who what where > ?
 
I was talking to Dennis Peck from dynamic the other day and the subject of Daytona Coupes came up and fitting them with LS series engines. LS3,LS7,Erod, LSA, LS9 - LS10 !

I would love to see a LSA engine in one as I think it would be the 6.2L lightly huffed version that would be super nice.

Thoughts , Photos , Discussion welcome !

Steve, you may want to ask the same question over in the Aussie forum as we have many LSX powered cobras.

Our rego emission requirements are way more strict than yours so we adopted the LS X chev engines some time back starting with the LS1.

I know one of our members "Stiffy" has a Daytona with a 6Ltr so you may well get a response from him.

It's the LSA engine that stopped me from gettings a new CTSV several months ago. I'll be darned if I'll own a factory blown engine that runs a cast piston. That places the engine at risk for power increases. I always get the "mod bug" and start extracting more HP. Now, the LS9..ahh, a different story all together.

Peter Brock is running one in his Coupe, or so rumor has it. Here's my primary gripe with the LS series, they are fugly to the max.

Not a rumor. That's it. :0)

I would be too busy driving the car to open the hood. -er bonnet.

You just have to drive one. Then you will understand why they put it in there.
Here is an interesting link.

I drove the sister to this car. Richard threw me the keys and said go have some fun. That's what I did too. What a machine. I just loved the way the back end broke loose with a blip on the throttle. It's the first car I drove that was easy to make the rear come around in a controlled manner.
It did take a little time to get used to the shifter being on the left though.
