I can imagine it would suprise pretty much most cars when it has 650 ponies under his right foot, even with the 4x4 running gear etc it can't be much more than a ton?

So what????

Rather a pro do it who knows whta they are doing that attempt to bodge it, and possibly waste an engine and a lot more parts in the process.

A P1 is not a car i'd want to blow up through my own incompitence.

at the haters.

Does this mean your all like "WTF" against Brawn GP? They got their engines from Mercades, similar thing, higher end scale....

Expansion rates I would have thought. Plus, wear and tear, lightness and heat dispersion may be factors.

Alot more expense involved, and a greater risk of losing alot of money if you do it wrong

People dont understand there are two sides to modified cars, there is modifying them, and then there is driving them. I dont like the mechanical side of modifying cars, id always someone else did it rather than me. I just like driving a quick car. People are different, dont know why that should wind anyone up!
