It used to be - before the FIA stuck its nose in and tried to neuter Ferrari - that you could pretty much do whatever you wanted with the engines. Hell - some lasted no longer than the few laps required to qualify.When the rules were changed... what, two years ago, I guess... the FIA tried to "NASCAR-ize" F1 and make everyone play fair. As expected, the ridiculous rules about engines having to last for both qualifying and the race - let alone two race weekends - resulted in many blue clouds and oil slicks trailing cars as they coasted off to the side of the track.

2006 GTO More bang for the Buck, a friend of mine has one. LT1 corvette motor stock 400+ HP. He destroyed a 40 year anniversary Shelby (over 500+ Hp stock). 911's are 'pretty' VW's <S> Oz
Except for the Renault engines in the Redbulls. I blame Adrain Newey.

Well maybe you should have ran the guy down and offered him free service so you can take claim that you maintain the only running Fuego in the world..... Now that would be a feather in your CAP, no pun intended.

Actually engines in F1 are very reliable and have been for a number of years, even when they mandated the switch from V10's, and the increasing need for engines to last past 2 races. Its rare for an engine to go in a big way like they used to. Tronsky
