Would've been interesting if Senna went racing in the US and A.

i'm hearing a lower rev limit on the renault engines

renault never developed their own KERS for the old engines, this is why they had zero technical expertise with the new hybrid systems.

so yes to both questions

I'd be willing to bet that if they built it... it would sell.

respectfully disagree.

That looks like a $35k-$45k bike in low volumes.

btw with that rake don't you think it would be a joke on a track and useless on the street?

Gods damn it you beat me to the Tigershark. Politics killed that wonderful plane. Admiral Gator Gilcrist wanted this as an Aggressor and if it was approved it might have saved the plane. Instead the Navy got F-16Ns that were too hot and too light that the wings developed cracks and did not last long. Embargoed F-16s ordered by Pakistan went to the Navy instead to replace the F-16Ns.

The vagina nose looks the worst to me on track. I was hoping seeing the car moving would be a different opinion but totally the opposite, it looks uglier when it's on the move.

Ugliest, Lotus
Next, Torro Rosso
Then Caterham.

I'm content with the rest of the cars for the most part.

insane.

Just watched the new top gear and they ended on trying to pull a table cloth off of a table like the old BMW superbike commercial. Problem is, Mythbusters already said it was staged and fake/busted.

So apparently Jimmie Johnson won the Daytona 500. NASCAR fans are funny.

The only place it really makes sense is a track car. For a street car it's much easier to slap a turbo on as you won't run into all the heat issues a 20-30 minute session brings out.

Have you considered just getting a regular NB and putting an aftermarket turbo kit on? I haven't looked at MSM prices recently but it could be an option.
