I agree it needs a big honkin' V8. Can-Am was all about massive engines with huge HP.

And I am not a McLaren expert, but I am almost sure the bodies on the orginals were fiberglass.

A Honda-powered McLaren is about as wrong as a Chevy V8 in a Cobra replica.

However, I do admire his fabrication skills.

I guess I just don't care much for replicas, especially ones that are not true to the originals. The only replicas I like are Caterham 7s, because I think of them as "continuation" cars, not replicas. In fact, I recently read about a sort of "continuation" McLaren that was built.

But it doesn't matter what I think. That's what's great about the car hobby -- everyone can do what they want. What is important is that HE is happy.

Having said all of that, I would still like to drive the McHonda.
