my god..........
what is the benefits of turning the motor.... less rotating mass through the use of less gears and parts? better power transfer to the wheels?
I'm utterly amazed. it looks like i could eat it right off my screen!!!!!
actually scratch that; the front canards are hidious!!!!!!!
talk about mortal combat style, that thing looks like its going to attack a fleeting platoon of pigeons!!!!

if anyone hasnt noticed that last engine bay shot...looks just like a skylines engine bay, hes running a skyline drivetrain...and skylines dominate in everything...its genious in my opinion...not cost effective...nor really that fare...but i think dom toretto said it best "whether you win by an inch or win by a mile, winnings winning"

I think the two main things were he wanted to move to a more reliable drivetrain... and second of all, I think in this configuration the weight of the engine is futher towards the center of the car.

Maybe the intake manifold won't work???

8) Yes it is a "slot type" inlet manifold but its volume is to small to make big power so we are using another one while we consider making a spacer plate.
