hey but can you fit a 10,000 hp motor under a bonnet ??? I think not least with twin turbo's you can ???? and I think if you can afford the 10000hp motor fuel is but a mere consumable ???? and I would have though they would use fuel a little more exotic than plain avgas ??? O but I think the real debate should be cube's may be great for power but how do they help you get around that next sweeping bend that tightens for the exit??? thats Y the L is good hehehe Toby *POP*
