The Detroit Speed Camaro is cool. Looks like it's going to be a good field this year.

In reply to Tom Suddard :

Trouble with that swap is that a 2j is significantly heavier, and taller, and longer, than a 13b. Granted, I love both the FD, as well as the 2j, and in theory it's the best handling car from that era, along with one of the very best engines from that era. However, about the only way I can see it not being detrimental to the FD's natural balance is if you cut the firewall and stuff the engine as far back as it could be stuffed.

 

Not familiar with this specific car, so I hope to be proven very wrong here, and this car does very well. =)
