I'm not saying thats the only thing he has going for him, hell I would love to own that hatch myself, that is an awesome setup he has and I have been planing on doing something like it my self when I start back work. I already have a good k20z3 motor and tranny that I am going to drop into a hatch.
If you put your engine into a car as light as his, you really think you'd get him? I don't think so. It's more than just power to weight. It's how the power gets put down. Honda makes great naturally aspirated engines and great gearboxes that put power to the ground efficiently. If you put your motor into his chassis, your traction/spinning problems would get about 100x worse.
