There are some significant negatives to this new car if true however...

Full Details will be offered Feb 6th... 

However it seems that although it is the 4V motor, with IRS... and has a 
6spd... a few things have been sacrificied... the Aluminum Block is no more!  
Chalk up 50lbs in the block right there... 

Then add another 50lbs for the Supercharger and BS...  then add 45 for the T56 
vs T3650!

So you are now talking another 150 lbs these cars are toting around... and 100 
of it is on the nose!!

This will be a tough car to be competitive at auto x... 

If the car has the Aluminum Block.. then it could be close in my mind... but 
Iron block is gonna hurt!
