New Engine Idea

Post by roanokeSpider »

I was watching top gear and saw a vw golf with a 12 cylinder. It was a w12 type engine 4 cylinders deep. I think that might make a cool spider.

Wonder what would happen to the Spider's handling with all that power.

Shoot - I thought it looked like fun! With that much power, who cares about handling? 8)

I enjoy how a Spider handles... It's much of the reason I own one.
If you want raw power, I'd suggest a muscle car.
That's just me though.

I'd like a Hayabusa X1/9

A human-sized slot car.
