so let spd take you to school.

ahmed, you calling ODM a jdm fanboy with a scrapyard engine is particularly funny because he is KNOWN as an avid supporter of KA builds. stop painting everyone on SON with the same jaded brush. i’ve had enough of you. stop talking. you’re a clueless idiot.
-
the GTO/“Silvia” (it’s just a 240SX coupe) is kinda cool, but swapping the whole dash and steering wheel is stupid. it’s a neat idea but other than the engine/tranny, the rest is silly. but to each their own. if someone wants to mold GTO vents onto a Silvia hood, more power to them. but there’s definitely no pristine craftsmanship in shorehorning a GTO dash with huge panel gaps into an S chassis.
-
a “real silvia” (real in the same sense that you originally used) would never be equipped with an automatic and would never look like that
-
average smallblocks rev to 7100? news to me. just because a select few of GM’s wide array of LS motors can hit 7k doesn’t make it the average. If you consider ALL smallblocks (including GM gen-1 and gen-2 SBCs, the majority of gen-3 SBCs, and SBFs, etc. the average is probably closer to 6000.
-
the ecotec is an amazing motor. well engineered, very stout – a true credit to GM. especially the latest versions in 2.0-liter turbo trim with direct injection.
-
fail to whoever thought the LS was a chrysler Hemi. and, yes, tons of today’s engines have hemispherical combustion chambers, but “Hemi” is now a brand name more than anything.
-
the engine in the silvia is an LS2 (it’s a Gen IV GM smallblock V8 as can be seen by the drive-by-wire throttle body)
