Here is the official New Hampshire Batmobile 5.0 conversion thread. I'll update for major progress.

First of all I bought a motor... The shipping company dropped it. The seller sent the wrong year advertised. The harness was cut to fit on the pallet... It definitely makes the personal deadline hard. I wanted to have the car back in Korey's possession by the 19th. I don't see that as being possible with the hiccups. We'll see.

All of this happened yesterday. 6 hours of being planted in seats overall to get the car and the motor, both in separate directions.

Here is the first sight of the batmobile...



Here is the wife about to ditch me in the AMG....



Here is Albino 5.0 and the Batmobile for a greet...



And here is me picking up the motor...






First impressions..............

It's been over a year since I've driven a 6-speed V6 crossfire. I called Korey and was like, hey! It's crazy driving a stock V6 after so much seat time in the V8. He went on to inform me that he has the 74mm TB, K&N's, debaffled elbow, a tune... I was shocked. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't even slightly comparable to the V8. Turn in was sloppy, mid corner was sloppy with understeer and the only difference is the weight of the motor on mine over the front and the cut rear springs. To feel any type of power at all I had to rev the hell out of it. First gear to me, was needed for putting around... My friend even stated that the difference was utterly jaw dropping, just cruising around. The pull of mine in second from 1500RPM is comparable to a really smooth quick take off at 3500 - 4000 RPM in first on his V6. Where second gear is the go-getter gear in the V6, mine is 3rd and 4th. Now don't think I'm trying to put down on it at all, it was still really fun. It's a neck breaker and I was getting crazy good gas mileage. I'm just saying if you are on the fence about the V8, stay tuned for Korey to feel the differences and confirm what I just wrote.


Anyway, stay tuned for updates and pics.... To the Batmobile!!!
