It's OK to be impressed by something impressive. Keep an open mind or end up like the Cornish County Councillors who said on banning the film 'The life of Brian'
' Of course we banned it. No we haven't seen it. We wouldn't wan't to go and see such blasphemous filth'

HMMM
Now put another engine in front, match the ECUs and that could be quick.

I seem to remember an article in CCC about a twin engined Lo-something

Do that with a bike engine and then you'd have awesome performance and a huge amount of luggage space where the engine would normally go.
