That's interesting. I'm curious as to how they will transfer the power to the drivetrain.

Id like to see the bill for changing the one spark plug. It looks like it would be a pain

You sound like a honda owner talking about the 8. Or some one who would buy a car with some of the best handling and f$$$ it up by cuting the springs. That makes your opinion worthless.
