How To Protect The Engine From Bullets?

[bennjamin]

i guess the truth in this threads title - is that its "lighter"than OEM , so this gives the car a chance to outrun bullets ? OR atleast when the bullets hit they are travelling minus the reverse speed of the car ? (1000fps to 985 fps makes a difference lol)

Hmmm, for 5kg of weight reduction, just take out 7L of petrol from your tank.

You guys have no idea how fast the car can dodge bullets now because it's lighter hahahahahahahahah!

Ok... Time for CF Bonnet so I can dodge bullets even faster!

Nice... but if its championship it would be even nicer... notice that the colour of the car is yellowish compare to the rims....

[EuroDude]

erm isnt CF and Kevlar illegal for street use?

If you hit a ped, they will get seriously hurt since CF/Kev doesnt bend and absorb like metal, and totally ruins the crumple zone system at the front.

edit; yeh they are illegal

^^ I don't know is it that simple as a blanket rule? I thought the BMW M3 CSL had a factory carbon fibre bonnet. Maybe it is ok if it is engineered and crash tested, etc. but don't think it is a blanket rule.
