Ive seen a series 3 with a 308 in it in NZ, but one of thoses new alloy tec V6s would be cool, if you got really keen you could go twin turbo as well

Ls1?

Sorry, I am not up with the jargon. What is an LS1?

A LS1 is a GM 5.7 liter V8, it would be good in your rx7 but if your after a V6 for your car then twin turbos of the right size on the alloy tec would get rid of any lack of torque problem.
