Hi Ed,

What a power package.  VW = about 2.1 HP/# vs 4.5 HP/#.  I would think the cost per pound is up there too.

What is more impressive is it making 266.6 BHP/L.

It probably turns 12,000 RPM or more to get that HP rateing. They are definately thinking outside the box. It is a neet little engine.
