I've never been the religious type. I mean if I can have a 500+HP N/A V8 in a car that weighs less then 2000lbs, why not, it would be stupid fast and awesome.


I love Turbo's but the sound of an straight piped lobing V8 is just heaven.

So, a 576 Hemi (generally capable of 1000+ HP, at the crank) in an S2000 would be, like, orgasmicly-AWEsome, huh? HArd to see around, though, maybe.

I have a BMW, and I don't w**k that much due to my family and job tiring me out! I have a 5 series touring (estate), and it fits my two kids and wife quite nicely. The only time I go fast is when w**kers in sh*ty cars try to burn you up, because you are in a BMW. Then I stroke the sexy accelerator peddle, the 500nm Torque engages, and they soon become a distant memory in my rear view mirror.

it would be orgasmically awesome as long as you never wanted to turn. I want a track toy and a V8 pushed back enough that it makes it still retain 50/50 weight and say 13-14in tires in the back. Tell me that that would not be a fun car. Sure I could Turbo the S52 from an E46M3 and shove that under the hood and make the same power and achieve the same purpose. But why not have a little fun and **** a few people off at the same time.
