Hmmm...doesn't look too bad. In a darker color, I think it would look awesome!

I've never seen such a good looking car and now look so aggressive with one of the worst stock engines in history.

Doesn't look bad, the hood scoop looks slightly out of place. But I was expecting something gaudy.

I don't doubt that at all. Eventually someone's going to end up doing it

for the record guys, Mallett is only selling these/putting these on cars with his LS2/LS7 conversion kits. so they're all V8 cars

I agree. When I first saw the body style I thought 'Man that thing must haul a$$' but then I read that it has an I-4 177hp and 166 ft lbs of torque and I thought what a waste. Then I figured it wouldn't be long before someone stuffs a V8 in there.

it also has a 260hp 260tq direct injection engine optional.

So you have your choice of a NA 4, Turbo 4, and several V8s.

yah 177hp in lowest trim, but come on for a car this size/weight 177 is enough to put a smile on your face whenever. with the turbo 260hp i think it should be more than plenty. after all the Z4 3.0si has 255hp and weighs more.

as for looks i would choose a sky redline.
