Enjuku Racing LS1 Hyundai for SEMA
Really? Whatever happened to building a car that showed the potential of the chassis/engine and what was possible for a tuner? Is a LS1 the only engine people build parts for anymore or care about? It appears the LS series of engines will be what brings GM back from bankrupcy.

Its just a SEMA car. This thing isn't going to do any drifting.

Still would be nice to see a Ford or Mopar block instead, though. Hell, put a used Ford FR9 in it or something!

The LS1 is one of the most compact V8 designs available, and the aftermarket is very well researched. Also, Enjuku had a supercharged LS1 in their past S13.4 that Bill Sherman drove in 2010, it wouldn't surprise me if this motor is the exact same motor (which means $0 out-of-pocket cost to drop it in). I am guessing that Enjuku is doing this from a marketability standpoint, and the LS engine family is much more marketable right now than any other V8. Personally, I would have been interested to see the Hyundai V8 motor, but I have a feeling it was A) more expensive and B) heavier |

The point I was trying to make was wouldn't it be better to build the engine in the car to show the potential for all of us who may buy this car? I probably won't, but I would still like to see what it is capable of. I agree this is probably the engine out of the FD car they had for sale a few months ago. I know this car will probably never drift, but Enjuku is known for building drift cars.

I wouldn't hold my breath about this not being a drift car.
Bring it to SEMA, make some friends, put together a budget, next thing we know there's a press release for the 2012 season. Remember the RMR car was suppose to be for time attack going into SEMA 2008. |
