Laugh if you will, but I've heard it straight from the mouth of a WCR
director. I imagine it is only a maybe not a will, stay tuned but don't hold
your virtual breaths. WCR are not afraid to look at all options no matter

new chinese built engine. I personally have my doubts, but that is what they
stated they were looking at
