Its a shame I had that 5K+ engine debacle. I got unlucky. Otherwise I'd be sitting right around there or even less.

Not really a good price. But damn, that mileage.

Unless you plan on popping a motor every year you're still gonna come out ahead. You're also not factoring in the massive depreciation on new cars either.

I know it's not local... but I saw this on the bringatrailer website... and it's gotta be one of the craziest swaps I've ever seen before hahaha... must be such a blast:

Viper swapped s2000

TouringTeg 09-16-2014 09:04 PM

ABS delete and no big brake upgrade! Must be a handful to drive

Lol don't really see a point there. Same weight as a viper just a chassis that wasn't designed for it.

And running it with no hood is gonna fuck with cooling.

2700lbs vs 3300lbs? The Viper engine isn't 600lbs heavier than the S2k motor either...

You could say there's "no point" to pretty much ANY car modification... or sport... or much of anything that humans do really, it's all relative :concentrate:

xpl0sive 09-17-2014 08:43 AM

The V10+T56 tranny is definitely at least 600-800Lbs... I don't know how much the little 4 banger+tranny in the s2000 weighs, but I can bet its a lot less

hud 91gt 09-17-2014 10:12 AM

I don't car what anyone says, or how it performs. That's just plain awesome.

flagella 09-17-2014 04:18 PM

I don't know about you but I'd rather drive that V10 engine in an S2000 shell. I like the sleeper status and honestly, you're getting it for $27,000 which isn't bad at all.

tofu1413 09-17-2014 04:19 PM

not a bad deal. :notbad:


its a toy car, its not supposed to make sense anyways!

Not much of a sleeper when half the engine is sticking out.

And people laugh at me when I mod a Buick :okay:

But to be perfectly clear, I mod what someone won't.

You can have 10 civics all lined up with a modded Buick at the end. I bet you at least 7/10 people will be talking about the Buick. Good or bad, doesn't matter. Your car is the subject of a conversation and not being glossed over.

:awwyeah:

No disrespect buicks, but your example isn't that good.. i mean, if you have an mm designed hall of shame car, people might gloss over the other cars next to it.. but i don't think that's something to be proud of..

If that's what makes you feel good about driving a Buick, then power to you.

Too special to mod

BUT THANKS FOR TRYING <3 <3 <3

meme405 09-17-2014 07:30 PM

Thats a lot of car for $27k. I mean just buying an S2k isn't that far off that price. If you don't mind someone else having done 99% of the mods for you, the car could be a pretty awesome toy. Also the fact that you would have to deal with any bugs and problems when you don't know shit about the car would be the scariest thing.

The hilarious thing is that its not even a unique swap. There is thing floating around michigan somewhere...:

An S2000 is hardly a sleeper.
