In a damn heartbeat.
I got a ride in one of those a long while back when I was in Germany. It was raining during the drive so the pilot could not really put his foot down, but still a scary fast vehicle.
Way back in the day, there was a company called "Scorch" which stuffed 300Z-TT motors into the Merkur XRT4's here in the States. Resulting in supercar-level performance.

550 hp, 460 lb feet of torque. LOL.
