Beautiful sub. Simple and clean. What's the car being built for?

By the looks of the spoiler on there, I'd assume some sort of drifting?

Re: (HybridKOOP)

Are you guys using the stock rear-end & transmission? If so, who did the adapter plate? If not, which drivetrain are you going with?

Now that is going to be a fun car

Does that subframe mount in place of the factory one?

With cams and exhaust these produce 600+ hp correct?

Re: LS7ZO6+MAZDA RX8 Swap by MMW (HybridKOOP)

Totally agree, but this is just wild (sleeper). I asked the customer, why he did'nt just buy a new ZO6? He replied.. "I love my RX8". So I left it at that.

Re: (boosted94cx)

This RX8 has 6 piston brakes? That might help alittle. I agree the ZO6 Corvette is freak'n badass! But this is just different.
