Message Remember when you bought the 1100 awhp Escuda, and proceeded to run laps in the races where you were competing against 200hp cars?
It's kinda the same thing. Everyone on here is about getting 600rwhp out of bolt ons. They rarely take make any effort in learning how to drive their 300rwhp correctly and safely. In a way, they aren't deserving of a 600rwhp car until they learn how to drive their 300rwhp car to it's limits. I can guaruntee that only 3% of Zcar owners (who claim to be enthusiasts) have to the limits of the car. The limiting factor is always the driver.
I call it 'cheater' hp.

I want to go back to the roots of autosport. Get an NA and build it up using tried and true techniques. Be innovative. Fabricate new products based on old principles.
And/Or get an NA, build it up, and add two small turbos for that additional *safe top end kick on a high compression motor (not your common NA to TT swap by any means)

If I was gainfully employed again, and making Wagz style bank, I'd persue this stuff. But until then, i'll sit behind my $400 computer and talk about it. :sigh:
