    BTW: I'm gonna build turbo's for all 202's. They'll be almost free and will add 200 RWHP. Really. Just tell me if you're interested and then I'll start building
    Sadly, that's the Internet for you...super projects disappear all the time, people quote gains that aren't real, people make up "facts" and so on. Put on a healthy dose of skepecisim and you start to separate the wheat from the chaff.
    If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.

    search. think. do. post.

    CF pistons.. Hmm.. maybe not, but the rims will probably come out in late '08. The company I work for is getting closer to developing them. But, don't get too excited, because they probably won't be made for passenger cars. Probably.
    There is a company right now making carbon fiber wheels for semi-truck trailers. But, they're then painted with a silver erosion coating. COOOOL!
