The idea of putting a powerful V8 in a small vehicle is always exciting, but this is not the V8 I would choose nor the vehicle I would put it in. Nice effort though.

The V8 powered Miata mentioned above would be a good alternate direction.

I think my choice would be a V8 like this:

(Which is great in the Atom too, of course, but that's not remotely DD-able)

In this car:

Should be much lighter, roughly twice as quick, and offer much better handling than the V8 Cygnet.
