Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

X2. It's cool, but not as cool as if it were an older chassis highly modified to get similar results.

This car was actually built to support an autism organization.
It was auctioned and proceeds went to fund IGNITE which is a program for teens and young adults with autism!

Re: Truck arm/NASCAR style suspension

there is a reason some of the fastest cars in the world run the truck arm suspension. its fast and simple to make adjustments, just watch a NASCAR pit stop. the only draw back would be exhaust them truck arms take up a lot of room and a full exhaust is almost impossible.
