    Just wondering.... different bodies??

    I think the roadster is ubber cool and I still can't believe I'm actually building one, but.........

    FFR has made and refined the roadster chassis so well, and it is a structurally sound platform, I was just wondering how hard (and cool) it would be to modify the engine mounts to accept an LS type engine and drop an Grand Sport body on one! seems like they could re-purpose the chassis for other options (I know guys have talked about the Slab-sides)

    is that sacrilegious?

    There are quite a few LS builds on the other board. I considered the GTO 6.0 before finding a Coyote.

    Superformance sells a Grand Sport that is "officially licensed" by GM. If FFR wanted to offer one they'd need to pay GM for the permission to do so. It'd be cool though...

    Or you could buy one from Superformance - only $90K for a turnkey minus
