Forget The VTEC, You Want Viper Power In Your S2000
Forget The VTEC, You Want Viper Power In Your S2000-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:45

The great Carroll Shelby used a very simple formula to make the Cobra one of the fastest roadsters of its day...take a big engine, cram it into a small car. The Honda S2000 is one of the best handling cars to come from Japan, so I'm not sure how a Viper V10 improves the balance, but I like it.

According to the the owner has had this car for 10 years and is ready to move on to another project. Which I can only assume is putting a 6.4 Hemi V8 into a BMW Z3. The 505 horsepower V10 comes from a 2006 Viper SRT and only has 14k miles. The owner claims the car is "very fast," I would take his word for it.

The car does come with hood but he doesn't drive with it on...because that would take away from the- "Hey, I got a fucking Viper engine in my Honda" effect. This S200o has had a few other upgrades including the clutch, drive-shaft, brakes, suspension, fuel system and other modifications to prevent the motor from disintegrating the chassis.

He is asking a firm $27,000 but is willing to take trades. That is a lot of cash for an S2000, but if you want something, unique, fast, and enjoy shitting your pants this could be the car for you.

When I I’d just picked it up from having Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 front and rear subframes grafted into its crumbling body. When the car came back to me in May, the clock started ticking. I had until mid-September to get the engine and transmission mounted in the car, clean...

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
