Details?
Little death-machines like a lightly modded LS3/Miata I got the chance to ride in are so much fun.

The LS3 is a motor made by GM. Check the link:
GM LS engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia LS series motors are very popular for cramming into tight engine bays of lightweight cars on this side of the water. I bet the sounds from the R1 motor in that car are quite surprising! haha If I were to jam something into a lightweight track car, it would have to be the Hartley V8 motor based off of two Yamaha GSX1300R motors. 2.8L V8 that sings at 10,000RPM and possibly higher. Check it out: Hartley H1V8 Motor Specifications

I would love to mess around with a small, high-strung V8, but my car's body and chassis that the powerplant/driveline will be dragging around is not lightweight. It's going to need a bit more motor than 2.8L. Stinks that I've got some money tied up in the shell, otherwise I'd get rid of it and go with something lighter/smaller.

OT, but speaking of stuffing big GM V8s into vehicles...
here's a pic of a BossHoss m'cycle I had the chance to wring out for most of one day. Fabulous, but a bit scary at first, even having ridden many species of m'cycles for 45 years. The sound is amazing, the pickup is linear and very fast. The handling is so-so. GL, mD
