It looks like it runs on motor.

It always makes me laugh when those guys run skinnies on the back

because they are running a NA 1.6/1.8/2.0

You shoose to run a v8 they want to run a I4, the same amount of R&D goes into each combo. You should be giving the guys props for running what he does.

Can you get into the 10's with a might 170lb/ft of torque?

I think it's funny that they use the hybrid body style for a racing application. I understand it's more aerodynamic, but it doesn't really fit the whole racing concept.

it says 2.2L ... no power adder

I do not think the performance is bad at all, though it could probably run similar times in more stock appearing form. I am sure the class requires the safety eqpt he has.

I see weight reduction as the reason for the Lexan. Only that rear wing is over the top really. The wheelie bars are to keep that FWD from unloading the suspension over and over.
