i think this is a cool project and you may even beat the beemer if its a long track but where will the pleasure come from when you beat "the puny 2.5l" with a 6ltr+ motor? another post said that the smoky /bandit style transams would smoke them straight off the lot but 6.6ltr compared to most sub 3 ltr, come on!! great till the first corner then its all over, the europeans realised years ago that a near 50/50 weight bias was far more important than just dropping in a massive motor, even in the sixties there were ford falcons with289's getting whupped on tracks by 1.3 ltr mini coopers , there is probably not much weight difference between the beemer and camaro so should the camaro keep a full interior too? please dont think i am trying to start an argument here as i am not, i would much rather have the camaro , i just think it strange that everyone thinks the best idea is to throw the biggest motor at it and hope for long straights, its a massive prop to german engineering that it will take a bigass engine to beat their little one!(no, i am not german!!lol) i remember seeing on tv an m5 fourdoorsedan annihilating an 03 vette round a formula 1 track, americas best handling sports car getting owned by a 5 seater sedan! but the 07 would do better though, as its a 427! an even bigger motor to make up for a lack of balance.
