you'll ruin the weight distribution, cheaper and simpler for a forced induction setup.

Yeah, because the additional 8lbs of torque will have you snapping your neck off the headrest.
Yeah, because torque comparisons should be made using peak numbers and ignoring power curves.

ehh...you could always make a completely new custom tranny for the NSX motor in our car.

Shit if you have the money go for that! I'm sure though you'll have a lot of problems and honda reliablity will go out the window. But with enough money to tackle this project I'm sure you could have another car.

Since this is al useless talk anyway, why not a Hemi Crate motor or the Dodge Viper motor?

My wild guess is it will be cheaper to have a body shop change the front end rear of a 350Z into a s2000. If money is no subject. anything can be done.

SLK with SLR engine:



But the one who stated that a stock s2000 will make you look standing still after this swap is so right

why not? You could just make 6 "reverse" gears. It would work just fine...it would also cost upwards of 10k-20k for a tranny...you'd need it built from the bottom up...it would need to be designed...then cast, then assembled...etc etc. cost would be rediculous...but possible most definitly
