Noah,
I can tell you how to achieve that goal of 0-60 in under 5 seconds and still
have a 4 cylinder 2 liter engine.
The trick is to install a Honda S2000 engine with it's 6 speed gearbox. You
will then be required to purchase a HANS device so that you won't snap
your neck when you accelerate!!
Cheers,
Joe
