Thats nice and all. But I'd still have the enzo. I would have to think that it would still beat it on the track/twisties. Drag racing and straight line performance isn't where all the funs at. I'm assuming the SLR engine is heavier and how the suspension/braking were not destined to have 614hp (or w/e it is) going through its chassis!

Defintely a cool mod though. Supposedly, the AMG V8 engines are all hand-built, so I'd be amazed if you could just walk in, drop a wad of cash and say I want this engine. That is true, the S54 from the M3 and the engine from the M5 can only be had from a junker. Some of the engines are even ending up in the old 1990 E30's!!
