    Oh, poor Standard 10. I liked it much better as it was. This is why you don't give nice things to your kids.


    Although I can tell I'm in a minority here.

    I'd love to have an an LS1-powered 240Z for the weekends along with an LS1-powered 240 Volvo wagon that I'd drive to my job where I'd work on my LS1-powered PC and use my LS1-powered stapler and my LS1 powered swivel chair. Then I'd drive back home, use my LS1-powered garage door opener, pat my LS1-powered dog, fire up my LS1-Powered plasma widescreen and watch some bootleg Top Gear episodes where all three have been replaced with LS1-powered goodness: Hammond by an LS1-Powered hamster wheel, James by an LS1-powered Wig, and Jezza by an LS1-powered LS1 with auxillary LS1s.

    Also, I'm super ignorant, but my imaginary degree in Dogs tells me that dog is way too healthy looking to be an American Bulldog. Where's the bowed legs, the leaky face? When engineers mess things up, you have a bad car, when breeders highlight the wrong traits, you have a life of pain.


    Also, I could totally beat that dog up.

    @eggwich to the limit, one more time...: Wrong kind of bulldog, I think.


    Wait... where's my memory card.


    Whatever this thing is, it's fucking retarded. It belongs to a friend of mine, and is shown here with its face on another friend's ass (the ass belongs to one of the guys responsible for the chopper).


    The dog's name is Otto. He has breathing trouble, drools everywhere, and could easily overheat and die if left outside in the sun.


    The dog is useless.


    And this genetic fuckup gets carted around to dog shows...

    Ha! The Standard !0 was designed with the expectation that it would never exceed 40 miles per hour. That little breadbox is going to wonder who shoved JATOs up its butt the first time he puts the spurs to that LS1. Hopefully the roof won't peel back from the force.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: A dressed LS2 and T56 weigh about 570 lbs, so my guess is 571 lbs. Plus whatever the wheels and tires weigh.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: A few years back, there was a well documented saga of a guy making this conversion. As here, he had to build a full frame for the Alfa.


    He lost interest or patience and built a Cobra instead. I think about that every time I contemplate putting a V8 in my Spider.
