edit: Dropp the carbon and Kevlar. high speed is not so much about light weight. At full scale speed racing like they do on Bonneville they don`t pay much attention to light weight due to the risk of getting airborne. some even add weight.

I would rather be light than heavy though. Once the car is together it is much easier to add weight than take it away. By going light, if we get into a situation where the car is too light, we can simply add weight to the car and essentially perfect our cg.

Back to the motors. Are we going to be better off driving the rear end with belts or a direct gear driven setup?
