LS7 Boxster? That's what they told me...

That's cause American cars are built for the straights. That would never happen in a GT-R

Good driving in this video too. He also talks about how... bad... American cars are

From Video: "I like the feel of the S 2000, especially through my dandelion picking / fish scaling gloves" or maybe that was just my thoughts... I have a pair from Italy I never wear that are like putting on another skin.

Indeed. I've actually taken a ride with Scott in this very car. It's got the LS-2 making about 400 hp. Well short of what you can do with an LS-7. Believe me, it was AMAZING! If I wasn't in CA, i'd be doing this in a heartbeat. It's about $5k for the complete conversion kit plus whatever LS crate motor you want to put in there (figure a nice LS-3 making 485 HP is about $15k).

You get all the benefits of a beautifully handling car, with the power to make it competitive at a very high level on track days. The weight difference is nominal, so it's like just adding pure power to your Boxster S.

Here is the latest video, btw:
