Before anyone replies with, "Well that's a v8!" I understand this, I'm just pointing out that sometimes horsepower is underrated.
i wonder if the solid rear axle can reduce drivetrain losses. i think most of the losses from rwd comes from the fact that you have to deflect the energy if you keep the wheels on the same plane as the diff there would be less total deflection...anybody know?
