unrelated but interesting.
I saw the spark plug from an F1 motor and its 1/3 the size of what you might find in the Boxster. The teams were all complaining that for its size it was the heaviest component in the engine. So Champion redesigned the "most sophisticated spark plug" in the world into one the size or a double a battery..... cool.
