R5 Turbo - there's a small Lotus dealer in Hopewell, NJ that has one of
these on the lot. I drive by it every day. One of these days I should
stop and as about it... (but probably not a day I'm driving my beat-up
Tercel...)

I remember when the Shogun came out. If I remember right, they have a
Taurus 
SHO engine stuffed back there - what a blast it must be to drive one.
Same 
idea as an R5 Turbo or Renault Sport Clio V6... I knew a guy in
Nashville who 
flipped the transaxle upside down, turned it around backward and mounted
a 
big-bore micro bus motor in the middle of his Beetle - He generally took
FTD 
at every autocross he attended. Also have seen a similarly thought 
out original Mini with a VTEC Honda engine mounted in the back seat
driving 
the rear wheels. I love hot-rodded little cars - if I only had the time
and 
the welding skills...

Much more eloquent than my response of, "why not?" These cars are not
coach 
built Bugattis, they are not rare. While I don't want to see one mounted
on 
a sign or used as a planter, this is fun. I'm sure that there will be 
people who think I'm crazy when I drop a big 'ole in the back of a
Festiva. 
But it just sounds like fun to me.
