It'll certainly make all of us on this forum drool...but I'm not sure it's going to be a potential winning car in any race series that currently exists.
I guess we won't really know what kinda times it will run until someone builds one to find out right?

I'm not so sure about that.

Assuming you were going to run it in unlimited, you would be able to change the suspension mounting points and essentially redesign the entire vehicle. Heck, you could probably turn it into a MR design, throw in an NSX drivetrain (and hopefully windshield), and have a completely competitive vehicle. That would in no way resemble an S2000
