There was I believe to be a cosworth version that had good performance. The car was called the baby Camaro, and a lot of people installed sb chevy motors in them.I have owned three Vegas myself not including the one my dad owned when I was a kid. It was a 140c.i. (2.3L) aluminum block, no iron liners(!) and a cast iron head :rolleyes: . The Cosworth version was a de-stroked 122 c.i. version with a Cosworth aluminum head, fuel injection, nice little car. They retailed for just a little less than a new Corvette when they came out so sales were dissapointing to say the least. Link:
Good discussion Chad!
