i kinda liked the I4 he had in there. itb’s are hot. but the V8 has them too. seems the weight on all 4 corners of the car with him in it, and the V8, is a good design though. the I4 would almost be too light and make the car left side heavy. woot for having way too much money. but id prolly do something the same if i was loaded. either that or design a racebike. from scratch. heh. ---

Yup, that’s wicked. I guess he finally finished it, I remember reading about it years ago when it was nowhere near done. Frame always looked weird as hell to me though, not enough triangles, just squares everywhere. ---
