I agree with Nassty here, the F1 engine yes it does make alot more power but just how long does it last?
Also just how much money has been poured into it & it is also a dedicated engine block designed for its purpose, where as the capa vehicle is useing a production block.
Also as Nassty has said the Crewman was driven to and from Canberra, I dont think an F1 engine would drive any car that far.
The other engines you have mentioned where they driven around as daily use vehicles or only on tracks and limited use?
