Serpent is going with Picco for the simple reason that they are trying to reduce the price of the kits and make 1/8 more attractive. The price savings will not be much if you want to be competitive. If you think that what Salven is running is what you are going to buy......I don't think so.

No bone stock engine can keep up with a modified engine with everything else being equal. Besides how much does a COMPETITIVE season of racing cost? Is $100 going to make a difference? Not if you are racing to win.

Great on Serpents part to make the hobby more affordable to the masses though.....
