Total = $3800 for a 500 horsepower 4 cylinder that gets better gas mileage than a v8, cost less than a car with a v8, and is extremely fun in the twisties.. Thats the reason i went along and did it. Make sense?  |
With that much power the injector's are going to be pretty big, I doubt that gas mileage will be that great, it definately won't be if your foot is heavy.
$4,000 seems like alot of money to me. That's about 40% of what the total car is worth.. But it's your money. Personally, I just hate FWD. The more power = the more traction problems you have. This is true with RWD also but not half as bad.
I hope to see some videos of your car though because it seems like a cool/unique setup. Glad to see you got rid of that heavy system.
