Perhaps the guy used the bits he used cos he just wanted the pick of the bits? I'd rather see an over-engineered car than an under-engineered one...

And I find it interesting that people are saying the car doesn't handle well when, as far as I can see, no one has driven it, or even been in it, to make comment on how it handles. Watching it go round a track is little indication as you don't know how hard the guy is pushing or whether he is just arsing about, getting the tail out for the spectators etc etc.

If the guy is happy with it, let him be and respect the time and effort that's gone into it.

Perhaps we aren't all obsessed with having the absolute fastest car on the block...maybe he wanted the best prepared car he could have and would rather spend money on having neat, easy to work on connectors and things than having 600bhp.
