Everyone does s10.. RX7 would be tight. I've only heard of 1 of those with a bowtie.



There's the Chevy Aveo

Honestly, there's TONS of ls1 RX7s so the originality factor wouldn't be there.

If you're looking for something a bit different I'd do a 944 with an ls1

Many vehicles that are real light are unibody. They dont have a real frame and the rear end can literally rip loose from the floorpan under power. Then you have to back half it. Be sure and get something with a frame to save a lot of money and keep it simple. Good luck and have fun!
