a kv6!!! ohhh no way! haha!

that would overheat in no time with the amount of abuse!

yeah is sure a x25xe :) there not bad motors, there fuel efficient and fairly powerfull. so in a car that weighs nothing it will be speedy and fuel efficient !

we dont need eco cars we need powerfull kit cars! ;)
