    The Rally Fighter looks bad ass! http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/01/ff_newrevolution/all/1

    I skimmed that article. I will read it later when I am at home. It sounds very interesting, thanks for the link.

    The Rally Fighter does look fun.

    Why are these called signatures when they are not in cursive?

    I've seen the Jalopnik articles, and it looks interesting, but what I'm not sure of is why they'd use an expensive BMW diesel when they could just use an LS1?

    You can't buy new LS1 crate motors anymore, although you can get the LS3.

    Actually a very interesting article, even aside from the very cool car.

    I suppose it depends on what you're looking for in an engine, but I think there are cases where a nice, modern, turbo-diesel inline 6 would be preferable to a nice, modern, all aluminum V8.

    For a daily, I'd want the improved mileage of a diesel.
