200sx has: 48% weight over rear wheels and 52% on front (or 49%/51% depending on who you believe), not bad considering its "Nose heavy" :finger:

Yeah, I think they are used in ships, called "Cathedral" engines I think, not much else they will fit in! Certainly not something that would fit on our roads!! lol :)

Yeah, there's some big ass ships about!

Maybe they use the 12 cyl for oil tankers?
I am under the impression for some reason that they use a similar engine to the 6 cyl version to power ferries.

No idea but a simple oil change will be no joke! They need a turbo IMO! Maybe a K&N as well!
