Wish the title didn't say 550hp (it is 400 rwhp). Needs some suspension upgrades and a better clutch but otherwise seems like a solid car. And for $12k, it underscores the value in buying someone else's swap.

I am going to take the Camaro out on some roads near where this was filmed today.

Wow, that's cool.

As good as I think the base V6 is, the 1LE will be that much better.

And if you like the platform, perhaps you should check out the ATS.

Thread content: the ATS is a good spiritual successor to the first gen Lexus IS in terms of weight and footprint.

As we were discussing via text, I have increased interest in the ATS after driving the Camaro today.

I put a bunch of stuff in the Focus RS thread on the ATS:
