...let's think up some really good STU cars. My favorite idea so far is: Chevy Chevette with a Turbo'd Camaro RS 2.8v6, 10bolt rear end geared for top end and itsy-bitsy rollerskate style wheels. Rep

Try to find Hot Rod Magazine from about 1980-81. The Chevy engineers dropped a 2.8 litre V/6 into a Chevette and Hot Rod detailed the swap with part numbers of engine mounts etc. Factory parts would

Another one. What about an MGB GT with the Rover/Buick V8. That was sold in England so you can claim it's a British Leyland engine. It's still in production in Range Rovers and Discoveries, enlarged

OK, you got me on the Spridget, but the MGB GT was a four seater, or it was as sold in England, I've never looked that closely at a US spec one. The back seat was small but present, I don't remember

So I do hate to sound like a broken record or tape rewind gone astray, but what "about the sportscars" that are 2 seaters? Look at the cars not allowed to run & have fun in the ST classes: MR2's, RX

and Or how about the same engine in a GT6? Since Triumph did use that engine in the TR8 here in the states, you wouldn't have as many hurdles to jump. ;-) Only weighs a little more than a Spridget,

3.1 If you went with a Triumph GT6, one could argue that it is definitely not sportscar based! The chassis was first used on the humble Triumph Herald..... But the 3.5L V8 would not fit in STU rules

I think the GT6 would/should be ruled a "Sportscar" (rather than being a sportscar based sedan, which the rule was aimed at, I think it's more of a sedan based sportscar), and the 3.2 liter V8 is not

It's not excluded because it's a sportscar, just as the CRX isn't. Both cars have no backseat. (and thus, theoretically, could be lighter... and, not-so-theoretically, shorter in length) No, I don't

Yano, I glanced at the rules last night and those of us who applied the displacement limit to STU may have been mistaken. It clearly says that "drivetrain is unlimited" in STU. So bring on the 302 Pi

My favorite for STU: Or even a bit easier, and more balanced (less front heavy) than a GTI with the VR6 would be an early rabbit (75-84) with the new 1.8T motor in it. Same size (not including turbo)
