If money wasn't an issue, I'd drop in an EJ25 Cosworth longblock, GT35R and an STi gearbox. This chassis is more than capable of handling that power. The engine bay is plenty large for that, heck it's already accommodated a 4U-GSE from an IS-F and a 2JZ-GTE from a Supra. I've heard people want to drop LS1s into this tiny thing This car, as I said in the past, is merely a platform for modifications. The engine may be lackluster, but apparently there is huge potential to be had. Looking forward to what tuners do to this car.

drop a head/cam/intake/header ls7 in this thing and lets really start kicking some ass.

seen a few on the road, I think they look good.
