A mustang engine in a mustang isn't changing the nature of the car...it's just an upgrade. A B16/18 swap into a Civic chassis isn't that different since the car came in that configuration in other countries (talking about EK/EG), but put a Jseries into an EF and I just don't understand it.
I get it, lightweight, big engine, beat chest. It's just not my cup of tea. Also, I disagree that to most people the powerplant isn't the defining characteristic of a car. If not that, what?
