*laugh* that the LS9 is heavier due to forced induction....
in reality the LSx engines are back heavy more than many of the powerplants they replace. so it does make them better overall.

I don't know where the fuck AMG engines come into play....the reason you don't see things like that is cost. The LSx setup is usually extremely cheap to equal power to weight powerplants.

you are dissing...

Sadly, it IS heavier, almost 100 pounds heavier. FI adds more parts and weight(and complexity), period, learn some common sense.

Never in the market huh, well I will let you assume that, ha.

And they are not not back heavy in this case, that was my point. Its dumbfucks like you who have the "lets stick an LSx into every car on the road and it will be awesome" mentality.

didn't say that...but in the 240sx the weight is more back. Also do you really thing 100lbs is going to make that big of a difference when you are adding much more power.

The LS9 is 100 pounds heavier than the LS7, which is 200 pounds heavier than the stock Lotus Toyota powerplant.

So if your asking me if 300 or so pounds will make a difference, i'd usually assume it would. The Exige already has a rear bias weight distribution so more weight wouldn't help.

I beg to differ, most of us are ALWAYS in the market for imaginary vehicles. 🙂
