That chassis is pretty fruity looking, but the engine is bad!

My guess on the bmw part, they didn't want to have to worry about fitting the 4-rotor and turbo pipes in there and accomodate a strut bar or anything. The front half of the chassis *should* be strong enough to not need one, but I could be wrong.

i wonder if they allow that thing to compete? it'll just be too unfair to the smaller displacement motors. i mean, i could go and build a twin turbo v12 and blow the doors off of all the other sport compacts. that's not fair to the other guys.

w/ that setup the rear runner would actually get the most air.
