I'd rather just own and S2000 and a Corvette. Probably less money. And with all that said, I'd rather see an s2000 like this ANY DAY over a "hellaflush" monstrosity.
In a nut shell, I love it, but it's not really my thing.
Most suspect differential replace that weak link then whats next to give? I hope yer right be nice to know the s2000 drive line and structure can handle that added torque.
Sounds like he wants a car he can abuse so I'm sure we will hear the reports later.

He was referring to the chasis and you were reffering to drivetrain components.

Hope to hear final results after some track time.

The weakest point is going to be the diff, which the builder is already expecting to replace but is running OE to see how long it lasts. The tranny will hold that kind of power.
I really wish people would think through their comments.
Would love to see it. A lot of guys swear by the X brace!

So when you produce a 500hp tubro'd version of the F22C does the car twist apart? Where do you make this crap up from?

I think this makes the entire project worth while!

The car is not done yet after all parts replaced and bracing is done weigh it.
Seem to me lots of time and money spent on this project for the gains.

torque is not the same as hp.
get that through yer head.
so what will be weakest link once diff is replaced??
It may be good to go from there who knows I guess we will see.
No one knows what will come of this added torque. Just suspect.
Drive it hard waiting for your findings.
come on someone say is ignorance in Bliss.
