I guess if you can't decide between a Porsche or a Corvette you'd have this:

Dropping a V8 into a porsche is nothing new. Guys have been doing it to the 914 for DECADES! His way is unique with that ugly ass cooling system hung off of the rear.
He talks about weight saved, but he misses a point. The 3.0 Porsche six is a FLAT motor with all the weight not much higher than the middle of the bumper. The 10 quart oil tank (dry sumped engine to help it sit even lower) is behind the passenger side rear wheel.. also about bumper height.
The LS1 engine is about twice the height of the Porsche one. ADD that 2 gallons of water above the back of the car... and while it may be lighter, he is going to have more weight shift with everytime he corners, stops, or accelerates.

Yeah, but I doubt he cares. He seems like a straightaway baby. Too bad cause the porsche normally handles well no?
I think it's cool, but yet dissappointing that there aren't more engine pictures. I actually like the spoiler idea, having the cooling system exposed like that and making it look neat is ingenius! I like that part of it.
