Seriously what can a LS swapped FD do that a Corvette C6 or C5 can’t do?

you’re looking at it the wrong way. what can a LS swapped FD do that a stock FD can’t do?

Look gorgeous.

I wouldn’t really consider a FD a sleeper...

Considering they’re all close to 20 years old...it’s a surprise if any are still running.

I think the C5 corvette is gorgeous...

Looks and handling, two things the Corvette only learned to do in 2014.
I honestly do tend to agree with you, but I also never had an FD grenade its engine after 25000 miles of highway use. lol rotaries. That is why the only guy I know with an LS FD has an LS FD.

You aren’t wrong...

This is your fundamental problem. I think that the FD is one of the most beautiful cars of that era. C5s are just kinda regular.
![]() 08/11/2016 at 22:22 |

LMAO! Sums it up perfectly

I think the FD is the best-looking car of all time (OF ALL TIME!), so pretty much nothing can stand to it in my eyes.

My friend has his FD swapped and makes 430 at the wheels. I do think it's a better looking car than my c5z and it's about 7:8 scale as well. Very tinny though and the chassis feels flexible compared to mine...just not as robust.

The C5 and FD look like sisters. Maybe not twin sisters, but sisters none the less.

You take the best of two worlds, a car that was actually designed and manufactured properly and an engine that was actually engineered
![]() 08/11/2016 at 23:40 |

Definitely raise a good point. There’s just something about the FD though when compared to a C5 or C6.
I had an FD back in the day. Ended up replacing the motor and transmission the short time I owned it.
So doing an LS swap is pretty logical IMO.

Be lighter and smaller. A FD looks like it is the same size of a Miata with a hardtop. I suppose you could argue the point of a more raw experience with the FD.

I guess

I absolutely agree with you. Just remember that these two are also sisters. Which one do you think is the Corvette?

Run for more than 5 minutes

It looks good unlike a corvette
![]() 08/12/2016 at 06:49 |

I think the only answer is is “Look like an FD”, Though the C5 sure comes close.
![]() 08/12/2016 at 11:26 |

Khloe is a C4 and Kim is a C5. Sure they look good in the right light and mood, but there are so, so many nicer models out there.
![]() 08/12/2016 at 12:13 |

These were the quickest sisters I could come up with. I don't read US weekly, so I don't know who is hot right now.

I wouldn’t fuck either Kardashian with my worst enemy’s dick, so I’d consider them more like a ratted out Camry and Corrolla.
The C5 and FD are more like Emily and Zooey Deschanel.
C5 is the more mature Emily.
FD is the quirky Zooey.

Neither, those bitches are ugly on the outside and poisonous inside. Out of those two vehicle top performance models...
The C5 (Z06): Hardcore, V8, a little more brash, sexy AF, and wanted by many (Kate Beckinsale)
The RX-7 FD-S (Spirit R): Nimble, Sexy AF, a little more classy, and also wanted by many (Milla Jovovich)
But both could kick your ass just as easy.

These are sisters? I never would have known that. If you asked me to name famous sisters all I have is the kardashians and the Olson twins and we said not twins.
![]() 08/12/2016 at 17:10 |

Wait, what? I thought we were adhering to the whole “sister” metaphor. Now your just naming chicks that could be the personification of vehicles. They don’t look even remotely alike.
Also, side note: That Milla chick is gross. The FD is more like Chralize Theron.
![]() 08/12/2016 at 17:17 |
|
You shut your whore mouth!! They look very similar in most of those franchises’ movies. And Milla is gorgeous.
Chralize is too good for a FD, She’d be a HSV Holden Maloo
![]() 08/12/2016 at 17:41 |
|
I’d take that Maloo over almost anything including my current c6 z06. I’d say that the Maloo is more like Diora Baird, sexy, uncommon, and not really practical anything but always a good time!
![]() 08/12/2016 at 17:46 |
|
See I think she looks more like the Aston One-77. Beautiful, impractical, everyone wants one, but you have it instead.
I think Chralize is a Maloo. Uncommon, powerful, beautiful, but also useful like not just based off her looks. Just like a truck that could haul a bed full of crap going 150 mph

I have not, it can’t be worse than the one that Tavarish “bought" though, right?

I don’t think I read about him owning one... Nor can I find the article. I’d love to read how bad that it. lol.
My 928
started with good intentions, then sat for about a year before I got her
running
. Thank god I have my GTO for regular driving. Love your Z06 btw.
