This page has the night runs videos. Not too clear but sounds scary fast.
I had originally posted this thinking a 323, GTX, or MX3 body could be substituted. But after further research the 95 up protégé is the only thing with a remotely close wheelbase being 102.6(8). As the Corvette has a 104.5 wheelbase. Unfortunately I don't think that it would be very functional with a 4 door sedan as far back as the seating position and dash would have to be placed. But as a enthusiast I also thought maybe some people hadn't seen this swap yet. And it's always cool to see someone doing something different and helping us to spark or carry through with some our own projects.

So get on it, put that LS1 in that Probe and post vids....it'll be fantastic.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.
