If it even makes the track. There is a lawsuit from a chassis builder claiming his 2 previous employees who now work for Nissan stole his designs. Actually 2 companies are suing over this.

Forget the E series, I want one for my GSX11, to go drag racing with.
Hell even Moto gp bikes could use em, reconfigured of course.
