I would only do it if I'd blown the motor and another weren't available. Otherwise, the peaky little 4 banger is just too entertaining...

I was actually talking about an S2000 with another motor in it. Like an NSX motor or an Accord V6 motor.

Just making light of (IMHO) a trajic idea. The F20C is the heart of a car that inspires the soul. Why mess with, not just a good thing, but one of the best engines ever produced?

Too bad they don't put a hybrid gas/electric motor in the S2000...that'd make it such a cool car...

Why would you put any other engine in an S2K to offset the balance? And if you did, would the car still have the same characteristics?

True the F20C is all top-end, but with careful tuning it can handle FI.
