Who do think wins?

YouTube - Ferrari vs Smart car

And with a Suzuki engine.

Those conversions are awsesome. I think the company that does them is somewhere here in the states. Now that would be a cool urban commute vehicle.

Does anyone know how much that conversion runs? I'd guess like 10k?

Whoops it was in the UK. Turnkey is 10,000 GBP, roughly $20k. But there are many package options.

Wow, that is WAY too expensive. By the time you get done with the kit plus the price of the car to begin with you're at 35k. For that money you could get a nice low mileage C5 Z06 and slap a blower on it....

It's a European thing. They're not into slapping blowers on used C5Zs, or other quintessentially American displays of excessive power. They like "clever" stuff.

Now you're talking, I nominate the LS7 as the motor of choice

What about a Turbo Ecotec, that probably could be made to fit.
