Dragon and engines

Don't know if this is an appropriate thread here???

How was the Dragon from a purely 'engine and drivetrain' perspective? I've got to go next year.

You don't need much power, you need driving skill, handling prowess, and sticky tires on the Dragon. Of course, the more power you have, the better brakes you need. On the Dragon, put your money into racing harnesses and a tire pressure gauge before anything else.

An LSD is a good idea, but it's just as good as a stiff rear swaybar and a controlled right foot.

HTH,
Ryan
