Spotted this Smart Car in Germany a few weeks ago:

If we are looking a Mercedes V8 KOMPRESSOR, we are talking about 500HP with unreal torque. You wouldn't be able to keep the front wheels on the ground.
The guy is having a laugh that's all, its not real. The most common swap in these is a GSXR1300 engine/trans.
If a V8 swap was really in that car (I understand it's not) that much power with that short of a wheelbase, you would have an uncontrollable vehicle. I doubt you could even get a 0-60 time without turning that car into a tumbling dice. Good for doing doughnuts, not much else. The 'Busa swap it at or maybe beyond the limit; you could get into serious trouble even there if you don't know what you're doing.
Yep 180+ Hp in an elephants roller skate is pushing the limit of controllable.
For all your brains.....it's not about speed.
It's for towing! (obviously)

It's all about fun. Dreaming it up, and then building it
Putting a B series vtec in old mini Cooper was done a lot.
OR the Pontiac fiero with the Cadillac Northstar motor. My favorite is the Lexus RX motor in the MR2's.

See, that's when you a want bad power-to-weight ratio.
You want that boat to be weighted down with as many girls as possible.
