Gorgeous,

I remember that car well!

Nice work Jay! That would be a very nice package!

Matthew

That looks like very nice work. What will this car weigh?

Matthew

In 08 World Superbike will allow twins to be 1200cc. That is why Ducati have introduced the 1098, and the R version will be 1200cc. Rumor has it Honda will be introducing a 1200cc twin to replace...

+1 Mark,

I think that everyone can agree that there is a decline in formula car entries. I feel that in order for this to be successfull you have to do something different. Yes, the bike engines...

F500 faster than ff1600? At a national level? What was the difference in times at the runoffs? I am not saying it isn't so, but I would like to see some backup for this claim. Here are some practice...

Paddy,

Where did you get the idea that the class was going to attract inexperienced drivers?

Matthew

Steve,

I think that you hit the nail on the head! There is not an attractive entry level formula car. Very, very few people are able to go out and spend $50,000 for a car, and then have the...

I think that everyone needs just to relax a little.

A few people (myself included) made some suggestions on a diffuser. No, a diffuser by itself is not going to make a huge difference in lowering...

Rennie,

Judging by your statement, that sounds like a pretty legitimate question to me. I don't think that Mark has crossed any threshold, because no matter which way you paint things, this is...

Really,

The only issue I have is your condecending attitude! You took a suggestion as a personal affront, and assumed, because I had only 6 posts that I wasn't qualified to give one. That's too...

Rob,

Just to back up my "credentials" to you because I am such a noob! I started racing a formula car in SCCA in 1989 after years of karting. I have also raced in ACRL, Firehawk, IT, FV, S2000...

I don't think I ever mentioned a ff with a 600 cc motor anywhere??? That was not where I was going. Rather, F1000 and keeping the costs down. Are you done with the smart@ss comments?

Matthew

Are you going to go with a Triumph motor?

Matthew

You also have to keep in mind that most FC cars are modified 1600s, which were never designed with a diffuser. Flat bottom is the way to go!

Matthew

SCCA Enterprises really screwed that whole thing up!! $50,000 and they play it off as an affordable class? The car was suppossed to have a mc engine in the first place, but they had to get fancy. The...

+1 I agree completely!! Why would you even want a diffuser? The cars will have plenty of grip for the power they will have, and besides, do you really want to be replacing these things every time you...

That is sweet. I ride an RC51, it is a great motor, but you will be down on power and torque. Especially on power!!!! You will never get much more than 130 hp and about 76-78ft lbs of torque. The...
