That would be sweet! I've seen pics of their Mugen prepped red S2k snaking around the course at Laguna Seca a couple of years back. Not sure about video though.

Mugen is just like Honda in that they're relatively conservative with their products.

Maybe that's b/c Mugen is owned by Soichiro's son.

Mugen focuses on certain races which are high-budget and sells certain other parts to support their racing needs. They can't afford to compete in lesser sanctions of racing when they're focusing their budget on other races. ie. Mugen NSX (now, M-Tec NSX) in JGTC GT300; engine supplier for F1 (BAR?). Porsche dropped out of LeMans to focus on development of the Cayenne and Carrera GT.

Mugen does NOT make the V-10 for BAR
Honda does
Mugen used to make the Mugen Honda V-10 for Jordan

the owner of Mugen who i think is now in prison for tax fraud is the son of Honda
the founder of Honda

Nope. Honda makes the V10's. Mugen did supply Mugen-Honda engines to earlier versions of the Jordan (this was before Honda came back to F1 and took over as a supplier to Jordan and BAR before dropping Jordan in favor of BAR). Mugen also supplied Mugen-Honda engines to Prost and Ligier in the mid-late 90's.
