Hi I have a saturn sky but does not sound like you've done in the exhaust to get that sound you've changed anything? Thanks

[leapy44]

I had a Corvette LS2 V8 engine put in. And added Corsa exhaust pipes. It is 400 hp and I love it!!

[cmccane]

Have you found any problems with overheating in it? That has to be the coolest Sky ever but you are the man for getting it done.

[leapy44]

No no problems and I have 8,000 miles on it. It has a 2-core aluminum radiator in it

Was it a base Sky to begin with? I guess it would be a major waste to buy a Red Line then do the LS2 conversion, haha.

[leapy44]

Yes I bought the base model. So I had to special order the rear panel for the dual exhaust also since the base only comes with one side cut out. I also put big brakes all around and a 3.73 differential. It wasn't cheap...but so fun to drive!!!

[flatonthefloor89]

not if you slam it to red line and are good at shifting . and plus auto is boring

[djfllmn]

Why does it have to be an automatic? I guarantee it would be more fun with a manual

[jddutcher23]

Did you have it done at Mallet, or just a Copycat? Mallet has some sick combinations as well. Fairly reasonably priced vs. a Vette.

hey I did that on forza3:) thats the same thing rite?

[p10ghost]

God damn that's a sick ass car.

@leapy44 did you have any problem with weight distribution ? i mean is the ls engine heavier than the ecotec because there are some 4 cylinder engines that weight a lot and did u change engine mounts ?? i think convertin a sky into a v8 has to be difficult

[aaronthemoose94]

now you just need to learn how to drive it.

@Viper33884 Hogwash...

[mrmatthewpaul]

what's up is it an automatic?

[007ABod]

its an automatic

[Viper33884]

With it being that cold and snow still on the ground, you would crack a block quick while doing that... Remember in science class? Hot glass cold water or other way around?
