I can't believe that they stuck a V8 engine into an engine bay that is designed for a 4 cylinder...

I wonder if the handling, and the dynamics will be effected by such a heavy front 8O

Fully assembled, the Bullet has a 53% - 47% front to rear weight distribution, providing excellent balanced handling
Atleast this place sorta knows what they are doing, they are building the chassis, not just wacking a V8 into a car that was never designed for it.

I wouldn't mind a car the size of an fto with 320kw... :P
