Talk about a factory freak. Brad always thought his LS was fast too.

I wonder if people will pay the extra to drop a 3 rotor in there?

That could be the weird way they flood super easy. My brothers RX7 did it if he wasn't careful.

PS want to a friend with one off? start and stop the motor and he'll be stuck for awhile.
