enkei, allow me to posit the following query.

What about an exotic mill in a C3? Something like this AM V12, or a Lambo V10, etc.

Austin Martin is owned by ford and that V12 was originally a Ford concept car motor that didn't make it into production until AM used it. I like the build. Looks clean with the exception the the AM side vents.

You could put an exotic motor in a C3, but unlike the current Mustang line-up Corvettes actually have motors that are worth a shit.

Remember if you can't make a strong motor then just through some aftermarket rods and pistons in it then blow it.

Sure, if you can score one dirt cheap. I'd throw a 4 rotor in my Vette if it was more cost effective than a blown V8.

But I doubt this guy found a V12 relatively cheap. I guess it's a little cooler knowing that it is a Ford concept motor. Btw, if this were something more exotic like a GTM, then I could see more of a justification.

Who cares what I think though, I'm sick of typing, I'm over this topic.

Just FYI, AM is no longer owned by Ford. Your point remains.
