Yes, I could have had a V8 ...for far less money too. But then it would just be yet another V8 swap. Believe it or not this little Honda 4-banger, which is basically 1/2 of their formula one V8, makes more power than the Tiger's Ford V8. The tiger's power plant made 164HP and later 200HP. The F20C makes 240HP in factory trim. Yes, low end grunt is lacking compared to the V8 but in a light car with proper gearing the lighter, higher rev'ing F20C will be nuthin but grins in a straight line as well as in the twisties.
