I was at Red Oak also and saw the KR360 as it was called. Trust me, that was no KR2. It was TOTALLY re-engineered. If you have the money to spend to build something like that, spend it instead on a RV. You'll get better performance and a resale value that would probably be double and even make money over what you have invested. The KR design, as it is, has it's limits and I think it has probably peaked out with the KR2S with 100 to 120 hp. I'm getting basically the same performance from my 0-200 powered KR as Randy Smith is getting from Les Palmer's (single place) KR with the 150 hp Sube engine. You could modify the VW Beetle to haul more people but it's never going to be a Greyhound bus. Larry Flesner
