Random 'pro-touring' project brainstorm
I was thinking this would be a cool project... I guess it would actually be more of a 'pure sports car' type build than 'pro-touring'.
Build a 280Z car with the chevy 3.5L inline 5 up front, using the 5-speed that is available with the Colorado/Canyon pickups.
It's really a cool little engine, very clean, simple looking design. Revs happily to 6500. 220hp stock. Although there isn't much aftermarket for it yet, from what I've seen it responds very well to modifications, particularly boost :D.
The entire thing could probably be built for less than $10k if you could do the fabrication work yourself (and particularly if you kept it NA), and you'd have something that would be a blast on the road course. You can get a 280Z with a bad engine for next to nothing, and an entire Colorado drivetrain out of a wrecked pickup for around $2500.
