Here’s something you don’t see everyday - a Honda S2000 whose VTEC never kicks in. No, the two-liter naturally-aspirated engine of this S2000 isn’t broken. It’s absent, because it has been swapped with a Viper V10!
Let’s talk about that bay
We’re really wondering why this Craigslist seller dubbed his car “Sniper” - when you drive around in a Viper-engined S2000 with the hood off, you’re not exactly stealth. The custom exhaust won’t help that much with that part either. We guess we’ll just call this “HViper”.
The thing does have a hood, but the guys explains he prefers to drive the S2000 in topless mode. Of course he does, that means everybody can see the stock engine. Yes, the 8.3-liter unit is in factory trim, just that it’s been taken of a 2006 Viper SRT10. The powerplant was joined by the six-speed manual and a host of other parts from the eviscerated snake.
Oh and the vee ten can break a sweat whenever the driver feels like doing this, as it has a custom radiator that’s obviously generous in size. Further down the power line, we find an Exedy clutch, as well as Mopar Performance hardware, from the rear end to the extended wheel studs. The electronics must’ve been a joy to install, but the idea is that all the wires are now nicely in place.
