You think a bmw engine is expensive to work on..... I've helped on a couple S2K projects and if anything goes wrong with the motor its makes a M5 engine look cheap....

i drove a buddies s2k a few years back. i was seriously looking into one and man was i ever disappointed. it was like it didn't have anything (no power, no torque), until you got it up really high near read line, then it was like someone woke up a beast, but then you shift, drop a few k rpms, and have to build back up into it. low end was no torque, no speed, no nothing. maybe i'm a little slighted b/c i'm use to the feeling of a bmw, but man it was seriously disappointing.
from what i've heard it's about the same feeling from the rotary engines.
Beautiful car and from the pictures looks like a professional job throughout. Those Honda s2000 motors don't have much torque. I would think you would want that for rally racing.
That car looks like crap. I hate the colors and whatever they did to the hatch to where it is sealed from the rest of the car. Looks horrible imho.

I raced a rotary powered car on road courses for two years, they get a way bad rapp for needing to be revved, they are like any engine, they can be built for RPM or torque not both.
Most of my competitors hated its pull out of corners and passed me on the straights.

Well what you'd really need is VTEC controller to move VTEC activation down to lower RPM and a large turbo that'll kick in higher up the revs. VTEC bandwidth should carry you up to the spool time of the turbo. In theory at least, or I suppose you could twin turbo, small to carry through low revs and a big one for higher revs.
