Dave,

I think this is a very cool project and I really want to see how it turns
out.  I don't want to be a downer here, but Jim's 3-rotor car, from what I
heard, didn't like to turn when you had your foot in it.  What are you going
to do to your car so it will handle, stop, and steer?

I would really hate to see you turn the key and the car flip over around the
crank ;)

Greg

Hmmm... and DROOL...

>From John:

"I neglected to supply you with numbers that my car made... At the wheels we
had 504lb/ft of torque at 4000rpm's.   We did not do a 'max HP'  run on the
dyno but were rather just dialing in the injection and ignition curves.
This was with 11lbs of boost.   I regularly run it to 15lbs of boost.  That
makes it a different manner of savage beast altogether.   I'm sure that you
can imagine.   Broken drivetrain bits aplenty.   I am figuring for 500+
lb/ft at the wheels at 6000 (with 15lbs of boost) which works out per the
math to something like 500hp at the wheels.   Call it better then a rough
guess.   Anyone who has ridden in the car will not dispute the number."
