they only have about 300ish bhp and I think they are a flat 4 engine so it has too much wrongness to beliave!

How ever I would love to have the V8 they put in the E34 as that would just be amazing sound wise.

Spaceframe the front end, that'll give you enough room, but really whats the point? Not seen an RB Skyline motor yet, or a turbo Rotary. How about a turbine engine from a helicopter!? I'm sure if you get enough hamsters you'll be able to out perform an iS :D
