It's easy to make big, cheap HP with a LS engine so they are extremely popular to "swap" into a variety of different cars.

911 and Corvette are both direct competitors, both my cars were produced in 1999, so yes.

Hahahaha..... I think it is virtually impossible for Dave68 to not throw some kind of Mazda or Lexus "fanboy" type of content into any Porsche thread that has ever been posted here. With that being said...... the 3rd gen RX7's are beautiful cars and one with an LS swap would be badass!!!!

By the way, I sold the C5 and bought a 2014 Mazda 3S, 2.5 with tech pack. I really needed a commuter car and the 3 fits the bill, especially with free Sirius for 4 months. Of course, Eibach springs puts it in permanent "Sport" mode, but the reduced fender gap makes the car look so much better. My MX 5 is still the most fun car I've ever driven but I'm sure that RX7 would be a bit more entertaining on the open (no traffic) road.

Mazda 3 sales pitch?

No brag, just fact.....

The 3 and the 6 are both at the top of their classes. Their combination of sportiness, economy, and reliability makes them unparalleled. No, they are not as quiet as their Toyota counterparts, but that handling.........
