Most of the people that make comments such as yours couldn't drive their car to the limit if their life depended on it.

Yeah, youre right, I guess that 2JZ would do nothing to affect the S2000s handling, I guess that extra weight is abirtrary. Perhaps the balance wouldnt be thrown off too much, but still I think, there would be adverse affects to handling and I would foresee traction problems. I dont know about you, but to me more power + less traction = not a whole lot of good.

I am by no means hating on this swap as any enthusiast has to have respect for the 2JZ I am just merely stating an opinion. I will give credit where credit is do, however, and this looks to be a very clean swap. I do wonder though how a car like the\is S2000 and even S chassis cars now doing this swap will respond on a track, and I dont mean "1/4 mile track."
