    engine option?

    Here is option that sounds pretty good just curious what everyone thought, an 1300 GSXR hyabusa bike engine/trans with Protec Quaife gear box with reverse? I was watching some videos of small fiberglass race cars running the hyabusa engines and they sound amazing! 14000 rpm! HP wise its low but they seem to pull really good.

    Turbocharged busa's can be well in access of 500hp, however I'm not sure the dollar amount involved. I've driven a buggy with a stock busa engine that pulled like a fright train! Also the low torque would help with traction.

    Could this engine LTG 2.0L Turbocharged Crate Engine by GM be installed in the 818? Why has this not been an option for the 818?
    It has some great performance numbers.
    The LTG is rated at 272 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. Its torque curve is broad and robust, delivering 90 percent (260 lb.-ft.) of its peak torque from 1,700 rpm to 5,500 rpm – for a great feeling of immediate power at all speeds. Peak torque is sustained from 3,000 to 4,600 rpm.
    Another option as the ecoboost is not available.
