Sorry it's small, I've been looking for a bigger one to use as wallpaper.

Ferrari started that... :p Their F2002 first had it... and that car practically destroyed the opposition. :D

The exhaust extends out on top of the bodywork ... pretty much standard for all the cars now. :)

I believe theyre at 90... same with BMW... Renault was at 111 which was abandoned like you said... perfect angle is supposedly 72 but i guess aerodynamics is more important now... :) almost 300hp/liter ... not bad eh... :Q

Those headers must glow red or white at 19,000 rpms. I'd like to see one run through testing at the factory. That would be cool.

Wider will give a lower center of gravity as well.

lol! :D
can you imagine a go-kart type chassis with a F1 engine?

Speaking of which, some one on the Vortex posted a link of a go-kart with a TURBOCHARGED 13b rotary that had a 100 shot of Nitrous on it.

Can you imagine the fun on that? I wonder how hard it would be to create a simple go-kart chassis and stick a normal motorcycle engine in it?

Not terribly difficult, and I've been wanting to do it for years... :D

yeah I saw that.

But a turbo 13b go kart would make a "tad" bit more power!

Eli: Would't it be hard to make the chassis balanced and somewat strong? So how much does a welding machine cost these days?
