B13 sentra with a VQ swap. Granted its not the 350z engine like he says it is but its still cool.
VW 1.1 liter four cylinder four stroke engine in a Trabant (usually equipped with a .6 liter 2 cyl 2 stroke). Although that one was a factory change for the last model year.
This is what it used to look like for the previous 40-ish model years:
How about an air-cooled VW with an all electic motor swapped in?

Top speed 85 MPH, range 65 miles. Acceleration-wise, this car ain't too shabby either, hitting 40 MPH from a standing stop within 6 seconds. I'd bet a stock one can't do that.
the northstar-a classic example of an engine too good for the chassis it came in. I love those motors in hot rods and stuff.
this from an old thread. Mosler twin star (yes twin northstar)
Can't really give you much more info, some guys just showed up to a Get-together with it, out of the blue. They did do a WOT in the lot upon arrival, and all I heard was this "reeeeeeeEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH tssssssshhh"
A cool feature on this car is the owner threw on a Y-pipe with one side exiting in front of the passenger rear tire and the other outlet goes to a Honda Civic muffler. A small plate and two butterfly screws is all that is needed to go from a quiet cruiser to loud, in your face awesome.
is 300whp really that much in a minivan? Enough that you need 6 extra gauges and 2 digital readouts and reinforced um... plate(?) around your automatic transmission?
