you may want to look into a Honda Indy engine. They even run on Ethanol now!

Don't forget to bring a buddy along, you're gonna need him to start the car since F1 engines don't have an onboard starter.

Oh yeah, what a great idea. Swap into a street car an engine that idles at almost the same RPM our S2K's hit VTEC, needs a separate portable engine to get started, makes enough heat to roast a pig on the hood, and makes enough noise to get you a citation on the next county, but has zero torque off the line so a stock 350Z could beat you to the next stop light. Go for it!

Top Gear had a great episode where Hammond drove Alonso's V10 car.

As they were reporting it, you can't even start it cold like a normal car; it needs to be warmed up externally, because it's effectively seized together when cold.

Somebody's played a little too much Need for Speed.

The thought of it is awesome. If I had millions of dollars, I would do it. But I don't, so I will do nothing.

Talk about no low end torque, an F1 engine pulling a car that weights over 2800 lbs would be pathetic until you hit the power band. I doubt that it would even be possible to get the car started from a standstill without frying the clutch.
