agreed but when you use the horsepower its too much fun

Yeah 200 hp is doable with what they have now. I just dont think that is very high since WSBK is around that figure reliably now. But say GP levels at 1000cc, 240 hp in a warranty and EPA/dot package would run about as spensive as the Desmodici. Tigger is right can be done. Probably wont though...
