[QUOTE="gary, post: 1779910, member: 13074"] zeroed, i'm not skeptical at all, honda, alfa...etc. these are companies who have been building engines for years, and high performances engines at that, not just your run of the mill types. no one comes out of the woodwork, and starts building super engines for mass production that are reliable, and are low cost. remember, NAC will not be building high-cost performance cars. They will most likely be aiming their cars at the bread and butter crowd (this is where all car companies make money). If its possible for a company with no experience with production cars/engines, and a new car company from china to do that, maybe you could tell me how are they going to go about it... plus that most annoying fact, they actually have to make is commercially viable. somehow, most of you guys here are not taking all these factors into account. mass production is a whole different animal. "There is a reason why I mention this. See... Petronas learned a lot by its involvement in Formula 1. The engine is there. the expertise is there. The missing part is only the chassis and the body. It is as simple as that. snap!" SOMEONE please tell me how involvement in F1, and having "some" F1 experience helps you build a commercially, and technologically successful car, engine and transmission package???!?! you guys make it sound like building a toy car man.
