It's odd to think of myself driving that car where the shifter is on the WRONG SIDE!

No Turbo will ever sound like a GT3RS, the Turbo muffles a lot of the sound

Believe me, I understand that...just stating an opinion. I'm just not a fan of thundering Detroit noise, unless it happens to be fastened to the chassis of a vintage CanAm car.

Listen to the sweet sounds the Australian V8 Supercars make at 7500 rpm...haven't heard any Muscle cars sound like that.

Hahaha. I thought that too Viper, but it is not so bad. I spent a month in France a couple of years back, and as I was in Nice rather than Paris, needed to hire a car and drive around due to a lack of usable public transport. I had no problem sitting on the other side, or shifting with the other hand. Where I had a problem mind you was when I had a passenger giving me directions. When she said left, I would turn right, when she said right, I would turn left. I had to reverse the directions in my mind to stay on the right side of the road, which made navigation tough. We solved the problem by pointing rather than verbal instructions!

Garage
definitely go with the LS series motors. more bang for your buck and much more torque! (gobs of it in fact!) then get yourself some better rollers and springs (and some other components) and you can rev that bad boy to 8500 RPMs now THAT is a scream.
