As for more money for RB26 than 25, that's a cute statement but that's not why the engine was built the way it was. The RB26 was essentially built to maximize the impact of the car/engine in FIA Group A competition. The engine displacement had a multiplier (1.7x) and with 2.6L the car would be able to run 11" wide tires with the vehicle minimum weight similar to other cars in the class.

This was a conscious decision as the R31 GTS-R was not very competitive in Group A.

But yes, it was to charge more for the RB26. Nice way of putting it.
I've effectively stopped reading your posts now.
They're so far from being on topic it's ridiculous.
We get it. You're a GTR fanboi.
Moving along.
inb4 no gains.
