I didn't say that.....
Yes, lower engine prices would be great, and I also believe that they have the knowledge to overcome these "problems".....
Don't forget, I run Mega/Picco engines, and for what I've seen, the DSII is also a great engine, and that for 320 Euro.......
There was definately a difference in performance between the "stock" and "team" engines, but this also just might be some tunning stuff.....
RickV drove a box stock Ninja 4 weeks ago in the first round, which was performing a lot different from what he drove now......
But I support the idea of that teamdrivers run different engines, or maybe better tunned ones, so they gather/test the knowledge to be put in future engines.......
in fact the combo of a Mugen MRX4/4-R and the Ninja engine was really tough to beat. To put into few words what was seen on all the weekend
The first round of the dutch championship was won by Mugen/Novarossi-35plus (Jack Ermen) just a few second in front of a Mugen/Ninja (RickV).
This second round it was (almost) the other way around... 1 RickV, 2 John Ermen (Jack's brother)
Last Year When RickV was still with Serpent and for the first time drove the 960/Mega combo he won with 2 laps difference and that was on the same track we drove this weekend...........
So if you only look at those figures, 960/Mega is the combo to go for or not?...
But I think that the Ninja but certainly the 35 plus is faster then a Mega ZX, (not a Mega MF, but they are not cheap......)...
But still the price difference for me keeps me with Mega........
