yep, that’s what the title says: > **[Tiny Chevy Matiz Swallows A 550 HP Corvette Z06 LS7 Engine](https://jalopnik.com/5144796/tiny-chevy-matiz-swallows-a-550-hp-corvette-z06-ls7-engine/)** > > Fourdin Auto Sport took a European-market Chevrolet Matiz and swapped in a Corvette Z06 LS7 to the tune of 550 HP. This just might have to be our WTF engine swap of the day. My favorite comment posted: “Most cars have an engine. This engine has a car.” ---
