Default Crazy idea

Today i came accross an expensive but awesome idea , please tell me if anyone has done this, if so i'll be amazed and impressed. Anyways, I know this sounds extremely expensive but might be worth it if you love the s2000 in the same way i do.
Order in a amuse wide body kit for the s2000, but 100% carbon fiber. Make every exterior part of the s2000 carbon fiber and remove the unnecessary parts of it. take out the seats put in racing seats, take out the steering wheel make it a racing steering wheel take out the dash put in something lighter radio basically everything improve the engine titanium racing exhaust and a medium turbo that pumps it to 450whp. The weight to power would be insane.
Any ideas or thoughts anyone?

Your basically saying to make an s2000 as light as possible with as much horsepower as possible. This is nothing new. First off a lot of tuning shops in japan have built up s2k's this way, and there are tons of best motoring, hot version videos on youtube of s2000s with crazy amounts of horsepower. There is an NA (naturally aspirated, NO turbo) fully built ASM s2000 with around 320hp that laps tsukuba well under 1 minute. (i think around 57 sec.) Another s2000 (Top Fuel turbo charged s2k) with about 2x the horsepower of the asm and is 2 sec faster on the same circuit. Making cars lighter and with more power is nothing new. This is done to all cars to make them faster on the track. Power is not everything however. If an N/A s2000 with 320hp can lap a track like tsukuba in 57 sec while another fully built turbo s2k w/650hp only laps the track 2 sec faster. That says a lot.

dumb idea to make a full carbon s2000 chassis. I don't even think someone with unlimited resources would do this. Give it a shot tho, and let us know how it goes. hahahahaha

Nothing wrong with crazy ideas, even if not new. Shit I get them ALL the time when deep into a bottle of Jack.
