I think you're right Tom, and I think his experience working with 100 Mercedes engineers is what derailed the SLR project and led to his resignation at McLaren. When he did the F1 road car his team was 10 people and from initial design work to finished car was a little over 3 years.

I can't wait to see what he does on his own either. And for a good vehicle hp/lb ratio, I'll bet his motorcycle engined Rocket is as the name implies.
