personally, i wouldnt be caught dead racing a pinto engine at one of the
entire worlds fastest places-what a contradiction to me, engines this puny
are made for shopping mall parking lots on a sunday morning - come on guys,
there are no limits out there on the salt, this is blue flame territory-
why not go as fast as you can with the most power you can get your hands
on. why screw around with these dinky engines when for the same cost you
could have a chevy / ford / mopar v-8 or similar more power oriented engine
with twice the power, christ, these things must be wound out around the
first mile marker, and the cost to get any worthwhile power at all out of
them must be pretty high . i think driving one of these would be just as
exiting as driving something powered by a potato battery from a sixth grade
science experiment , with a little added noise.
