Difficult to drive!!!!!!!

I think the pedals will be the least of the problems, all that weight up front and with that power the rears are just gonna spin like crazy.

Mental but interesting.

And aren't those just stock S2k calipers painted red?, Me thinks he's a bit hopful about stopping that monster.

Can't see it being any 'worse' than an FI car with 500+ bhp - drive it like an idiot and it will make you look like one. As for why .... as above and that's reason enough - plus no one else has one

The new engine weighs 500 lb (230 kg) so an extra 176 pounds. My supercharger weighs give or take 40lbs that goes right at the front of the engine. so realistically you're ~135 pounds or 60kgs more in the middle of the vehicle given that the block is mounted pretty close to where the f20 is mounted. Can't complain with all that torque

Huge truck engine in an S the two do seem to be ad odds with each other, but if it makes you happy go for it.

That engine even looks huge in a Dodge SRT 10 so goodness how you cram it under the bonnet of an S , or maybe throw a grenade in first and shut the bonnet to beat out bit more space.

Would be nicer to see a more suitable small high output V6 of some sort being squeesed in.

Chippo - I've got pics of an S2K with the 350z v6 in it - it looks perfect and I expect it's pretty spot on as a match as well.
