@dangertree: Looks like the Sphinx wearing Darth Vader's helmet.

@D-K: /puts down pipe

@jakebonz: That just clogged up my arteries.

@Jeb_Hoge: Those had the best hp/litre rating for NA engines for a few years, yeah?

@FodderTheSane: Starting would be pretty much the only big wear period, most likely - the shift times being computer controlled allows for minimal wear to occur during gear changes.

@Brandon Christ: Heh, ghetto-precharge the turbo with a weedwacker motor on hi-test race gas.

@NaeemTHM: Do you need a hug or something? =)

@D-K: Damn.

@mrjason: Like angry, meth'd up hornets raping your earholes.

@Barnaby Jones: My neighbours are gonna be SO pissed at me come F1 season.

@Brandon Christ: I've heard things about turbos with air-beedle bearings - they apparently tiny fins to generate turbulence of some sort to 'float' the main shaft of the bearing, rather reducing the bearing wear and heat generation of needle bearings and such.

@ttyymmnn: I, uh...mmmmahhhm, yeah.

@Sarcasmo - Really not that beige: That a rather frightening thought, I'd rather have that kind of power in a low-slung MGB-type roadster than a bean-shaped vehicle.

@FodderTheSane: That's rather what I was thinking- 10k is just over Wankel territory, and F1 is way over that with the superlight Unobtanium alloys they use in their running gear.
