after reading the article on his car i believe that it came down to simple cost vs. performance. The R154 would have been a shit load cheaper and still been able to support the 350kw that the car was making...besides that it is not HP that kills components its Torque..so I am sure that the R154 will live ok for a while yet...getrag are still an expensive thing to buy..i have yet to see them fall under the 3000 dollar mark, while a good R154 can be picked up for 1200..so yeah save a bit of dosh there
