There's no good benefits to having a v8 and rwd drivetrain in a dsm compared to a tsi or gsx.

One word, reliability. Pop twin turbo's on a LS2, run pump gas, 700whp and be uber reliable. I don't know why that would turn it into a straight line car either, the handling should be similar to a normal car.

So then get a camaro if all you want is reliable power. I'm pretty sure if you want handling you won't be swapping an lsx into a DSM anyways. RX7's I can understand an LSX or 5.0 swap. Not DSM's.

Just because you can't understand, doesn't make it wrong. A DSM is also WAY lighter than a camaro. Especially when you get it down to just a shell.
