That's right. It is light (2500) and he removed the seats for his numbers run at the strip. Still, it ran an incredible 11.3 @ 124.
So it is hard not to be impressed. I'd be very curious how it drives. K25, 14:1 compression, cams, E85 and who knows what else.
Problem is, the engine alone cost $50k to build. It is cool from an engineering standpoint but not relevant.

Did they say 15 or 50? Man... I do think this sounds cool though and I love a good high revving N/A motor. The K-series Honda engines are actually a popular swap for the Elise because the aftermarket is way better and the power ceiling is better than the Toyota 2ZZ.

$15k makes more sense. I thought I heard 50. However, my point stands even at $15k.
