Its running a Nissan R200 rear end. The car was built by InlinePro - leaders in the S2000 turbo scene. The offer the rear end conversion kit for sale along with pretty much everything that car is shown with. Granted, they're not by any means cheap - but they make amazing quality products that take the S2000 from being a "good" sports car to almost supercar levels. Drive a stock S2000 and you'll see how good it is.. I can't even imagine my car with 400+rwhp, nonetheless 5-6-700+.
At the end of the day its nice having forged internals (HG change to reduce CR and you're good for a lot of boost) - but its the rear end/tranny that has trouble keeping up (pumpkin doesn't like anything past 350rwhp or so, tranny in the 600+ range - which is why this car in the video blew out 1st gear after 3 passes).
Im glad this S2000 exists to get all the domestic guys all butthurt since its pretty much cooler all the way around than a drag Mustang or whatever, but this straight line stuff does nothing for me. The S2000 is far more capable on a road course than a drag strip, but it just goes to show anything can be made fast with enough R&D.
