Initially I thought the boxer engine would be perfect because of the weight distribution, but lately I've been fantasizing about a high displacement inline 4. 2.0L just doesn't cut it to be competitive in racing. I don't want this car to be another underpowered but fun to drive Honda... (S2000) half the fun for me is cruising around in a car that is a giant killer, and that just isn't possible without a good motor.
That's a great joke.

Hope you have flame suits on
