It will if you know how to drive.

At the end of the day, if you want more power why piss about with the Honda block? You may as well start with something that's designed for a lot more grunt to begin with!

I like that. Its Different, and whoever fitted the engine did quite a neat job by the looks of it.

What about the weight of the engine?

If you're only interested in going fast in straight lines it doesn't matter but you might lose as much as you gain by just stuffing in the most powerful thing you can find.

I am amazed they got it to clear the bonnet line.

They didn't mention a dry sump.

Nor weights, nor mass distribution. MGC-style understeer springs to mind.

But since they've got the presentational skills of Beavis & Butthead, hardly surprising.

The S2000 fan in me says "WHY!" since you'll lose the charm of the engine and the gearbox in the S is almost unbeatable so why change.

The Boy/Engineer in me goes "MORE POWER!"

Nice sound track too. Can't beat a bit of Filter
