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

alloy tec is a POS, gutless, no torque, wouldnt bother when the LS1 is such a power house

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.
