    You could life the whole drivetrain from the M5 actually. Then you'd have launch control and the like!

    Yup, I've seen a number of them and I have been thinking of doing one for quite some time. Labor here is cheap and there are plenty of mini chassis'.

    The owner of the "ringmini" has two (I think), plus a Kart with a GSX-R engine. I saw a couple videos and that one is just silly!!!

    There are also some "miniki's" (Minis with Suzuki Swift GTi motors worth 100 hp) already on the street around here. Ohh! and a miniki with a turbo, but I don't really know if that finally hit the street (saw at the shop).

    since this is the asian car forum

    A Nissan VK54DE into a Soarer (Lexus SC), it was a gun with the 4.L V8 it'd be unstoppable with a modern 5.4L.

    As far as non-asian; the new AMG 6.2L V8 into a BMW E46 3 series.

    I'd take the '86 Ford RS200 rally car's 600hp Cosworth turbo engine (and AWD drive train) into a Mini cooper S...

    -and-

    Take the Mini Cooper S's supercharged engine and put it into a crappy old Trabant (with the necessary drive train adjustments of course)

    -or-

    Take the highly tuned 470hp v8 from the Dinan S2-M5 and put it into a bimmer E38 740i with BBS wheels, Brembos, and aluminum/carbon fiber panels and Recaro seats (my very own James Bond look alike)...almost
