Beautiful car. One of the best body designs I have seen on 4 wheels. Drive it until the 13b blows, then swap in a v8. After that pick up some <U>tasteful</U> rims and some nice jDm, yO!!11! bodywork. Dudeman will have a beautiful, reliable, and rare car.

I could probably build one successfully, and i almost did rebuilt my 3rd one, which would have been reborn into the 4th. 
Instead, I made the descision to go Ls1, for all the money i have into my ls1/FD project, shiiiit, i could easily have a mid 400rwhp single turbo 2 rotor. And been well on my way to my 6th engine i was single turbo when i put the kabosh on the rotary setup. 3mm seals, cryoed, street ported (sounded mean at idle 
) garret GT 66, 3in all the way, SMIC, apexi power FC, yada yada. I liked the rotary, sounded like i was firing up a f-16 fighter jet,,, and when i turned it off, it sounded as if i was turning the f-16 off. **** was pimp, ran very smooth, boost hit HARD AS **** at 3300, wasnt too controllable at all around corners. http://www.rearendwhipsout.com the trans is geared very tall. 80mph in 5th was like 2700rpm AKA bogging the engine. gas mileage SUCKED, somewhere around 12-15 thanks to my wild street port and garden hose style injectors. I can tune a turbo rotary and maintain them, i choose not to.
Honestly, i cant find one con about the ls1 swap. not A 100% LEGITAMATE con, not: " o you killed the car's soul" not "oh boost is better" not " the only moving parts are an Eccentric shaft and 2 rotors" not " **** dumbmestics" dont hate cuz they own 98% of the show. leaving 1000+rwhp supras making up the rest.
The car WILL still maintain 50/50 weight dist, get better gas mileage, lets face it the ls1 is more reliable stock or modified, hello Mr torque, 300rwhp stock, 1/4 miles times stock are low 12s with a shitty driver/no traction. Theres prolly some more, but ive covered many, many times already in other posts.
I do have respect for both. maybe one day when im rich (laughter) il build a single turbo 2 rotor FD again just for the pure whackyness of mixing two cycle oil in the gas. (you remove the oil injection **** when you go single ) Ya know, it doesnt smell like my snowmobile anymore at least, and it sounds like a mean **** camming its *** off. 
</TD></TR></TABLE>
hahaha, ok ok I get the point,
it sounds like a good *** swap.
And it does have alot of popularity lately, so there must be good reason for that.
still though, if you can prove to me that it will retain 50/50dist, i'll give it MY thumbs up!!
not that anyone cares about my thumbs up, but still, I would like to know

How much is the Ls1 engine? And how much is the total cost of the swap? Crazy modifications needeD?

Re: (DefiantGSR)
I think they are around 6500 with the 6 speed tranny w/LSD. Was researching the motor at one time...
They come in the SS Chevy Camaro's and run around mid 13's stock and I heard that with a cam and torque converter for the auto drop's the et's to mid to upper 12's...
