I can think of a lot of reason to do that. You would be the only one, you could prove your skills as a mechanic and engineer, you would have a fantastic sleeper assuming you change more than just the engine, you would be a shoe in at car shows. ect. To bad its just a photoshop

oh. my. god.


*immediately starts drawing up Gone In Sixty Seconds style plan to hijack the accord.

All true. I guess if someone were to have enough money to transplant a V10 into an Accord, they would have money to do sensible things at the same time.

I am going home for Christmas in a few.....so i will be passing through Charlotte again. If i see him on my way, or if i ever see him again i will be sure to flag him down and let you guys know if my friend was for real or just shittin me.

I live about 30 mins above charlotte (statesville) and a friend at school told me about an accord with a ferrari V10 engine in it. Now, I'm not even sure what model comes witha V10 if any.

Ferarri makes V8s and V12s but not V10s....just thought I'd clear that up....and just out curiousity...why would you put a motor worthy of beign worshipped in a car that can barely hold a respectable skidpad number....put it in at least a GM sports car....instead of a compact.....not only is it too heavy but the power is just too much for a FWD vehicle to handle...

because they can...

Name: Paolo Martinelli
Nationality: Italy
From Ferrari's home town of Modena, Martinelli grew up surrounded by the company's influence. He wanted to become an engineer and won a place to study mechanical engineering at the renowned Bologna University from where he graduated in 1978. He immediately joined the Ferrari company and worked his way up through the engine design and development departments to become head of engines for Ferrari production cars.
In 1994 he was put in charge of Formula 1 engine design and immediately instigated an investigation into the relative merits of a V8, a V10 and a V12 engine. The team eventually decided that the V10 was the best compromise and the company began running V10 engines in 1996.

...all of that came from the unofficial ferrari website, but upon further research youll find that ferrari has produced hundreds of V10's in F1 cars, concept cars, and even a few production cars.

as for a 'GM sports car' being a better base for an engine like that is not a swallowable explanation. any rear wheel drive car would be a fine base...why not put a ferrari engine in an S2000 or NSX? both rwd hondas turning skidpad #'s comparable and even better than what gm has to offer. im not trying to get into another import domestic war, but dont get on and talk shit. especially being a newbie.

the only answer thats worth repeating is ricochets...because they can...

To bad Bill Gates didnt have a kid into imports, not that Id like him(rich litle shit), but we could have him find out what will happen with x swap/turbo/nitrous/car part done/used in y car, like a test hamster or something. The Bugatti W16 into a CRX....(why do I get the feeling, Bill Gates is gonna know I used his name? )
