And everything about it is ferocious. The pull and the sound demands your full attention when you’re up at such high RPMs, and although the car still behaves as an 86 should, it’s definitely not the sort of machine you can drive fast, lazily. It’s a true driver’s car that demands your full attention.

I really have to wonder how much this costs. It's too perfect.

[megamarines]

The only thing i don't like is 197ft-lb at 8000rpm. Seems a bit...low. Even though this engine does seem to rev quite fast.

I do love this choice however, it will be great to see further development.

I'd like to see an Ariel Atom V8 in one.

30% more torque at 500RPM past the FA20s redline. That equals some serious power. It is only a 2.4L after all.

Still not as stout as this.

"This Atom’s heart is a 3.0-liter, DOHC V-8 engine built by Hartley Enterprises in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Race-derived components include dry-sump lubrication, a flat-plane crankshaft, forged pistons, and eight individual throttle bodies. In road tune, the engine produces 475 hp at 10,500 rpm and 268 lb-ft of torque at 7750 rpm; in race tune, it’s capable of 500 hp at 10,600 rpm and 284 lb-ft at 7750 rpm."

Well, that is a 20% larger motor.

With almost twice the performance. I'd take either one if you forced me.
