Well, the difference is that with the opti you may have more frequent problems, but when there's an issue you KNOW it's the opti- vs having to chase a pack 'o gremlins.

Besides the fact that this was a "396 SUPERCHARGED" motor:drool:, he must have spent about upteen gazillion dollars on this conversion. To go all of 20 miles without a recharge is really wacked.:shock:

Congratulations. He dropped the top speed by half and reduced the range by a factor of 25. Ugh. I hope it was an LT1.

Honestly, I'd be more interested if someone stuck a small block chevy into a Prius.
