Ok Don, we know it can be done. Now get back in your garage and crank out a few of those 60 day 32''s that you are so adept at putting together.

You're right about being cheaper to build and maintain than replacing the old tired Ferrari v12, but faster? I doubt it, unless you were comparing the fresh v8 to the tired v12. A fresh v12 would be long gone before the v8 even reached the half way point. Don't get me wrong, I like hybrids. I used to have a Healey 3000 with a 327 crammed under the lid. Lots of fun, just a little nose heavy though.
