    That subframe looks so nice!

    I had to look up LFX as I wasn't sure what engine it was and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. It is a fairly new V-6 from GM rated at up to 321hp in the Cadillac ATS and CTS, but also in other models like Camaro and Caprice PPV.

    We'll be following up with updates as the car begins to come together. We are aiming for a CARB legal conversion with 35MPG or better.

    WOAH! I guess...the cars that the LFX used to be in were much bigger and heavier. (Off topic.) I wonder what kind of MPG that the RX8 will get with either the LFX of LSx? If a DOD (Displacement on Demand) 6.0L could do 25MPG, that'd be incredible.

    We have been updating our Facebook with build progress. The car is up and running and making it's way to MRLS.
