it has plenty of torque for daily driving.. Especially when compared to cars that aren't considered fast. If someone says differently, they are either used to very fast cars, or have fragile ears.

Weird... the battery is in the wrong place, though I suppose they had to move it for the transplant.
Also, the engine compartment seems shorter and wider (but I guess the photo may not be of the entire engine compartment).

God knows how much torque we need though, sometimes I have to stick my foot out and push to get the car going from a stop

That is a picture of a 4Runner engine compartment, obviously the seller accidently drew from two sets of pictures when he was creating the auction. I was simply poking fun at the myths surrounding the S2000 and the percieved (obviously in theory only) advantage such a swap would provide.

I was a little slow, but I got it.

Yeah, definitely phony. Someone should call this guy out in ebay management somewhere. That engine bay doesn't look anything like ours, completely wrong down to the wiper position.
Besides, if you were going to stick a 4.7 in an S2000, would you really leave the stock airbox on from the truck you took the engine from???

haha yeah... we have way more torque than any other 4-banger NA motor.
I don't get why people complain about the "lack" of torque... I've never found it an issue once.

the initial comment has been made often enough so to make it not obvious sarcasm
Also, on the 2004 comment, I've driven both, and that's a fallicy... It isn't a very noticable gain, and until you start modifying the car to make better use of the torque and free up the restraints of the stock fuel management system, etc. to be honest it's not a big enough difference to make a claim like that...
