Scary quick?
Had my pickup at a local shop for some minor work today. When I showed in the afternoon to pick up my truck, I noticed "Dave", a mechanic at the shop washing an old Pontiac Fiero...it had a huge coffee can sized exhaust tip. It also had a huge tailpipe behind that tip. Dave lifted the lid to reveal an aluminum block Cadillac V-8, telling me the V-8 weighs 60 pounds less than the original V-6.
Gee, I'll bet it's pretty quick, mister. Quicker than most wannabe fast & furious rice cars.  (edit) Has anybody else here seen this swap?
