Robert, the total cost of what you suggest is ridicules when you consider
the fact that I can buy an Audi 5 turbo motor for 200 bucks and a conversion
kit from James Cohen for under a grand.
The potential power output of the Audi motor makes the WB look like a play
toy.

Also, please tell me how you got the 133mph figure.  Did you do some
research to determine how much HP and gear ratio is required to propel this
vehicle to that speed?
