It will be built from the start to make much more power than any series engine it may share an architecture with, as much as 50% more power, in fact.

Not that I am taking sides in the "1M is/isn't a reall M" debate. Just offering up some facts.

BTW, I like the Star Trek bit; the overt corniness of it all is usually good for a laugh. And you rarely break character; quite dedicated I must say. Though, I have to admit that I always invisioned this as your online-only alter ego. If you are truly like this IRL, well, I would have to say it would surely get old pretty quick.

Regarding the engine, I now see your point... the fact that the 1M's engine actually came out of a Z4 and not originally from the womb of the M-Division. That is actually a good point.

As far as my real persona, I can assure you that I'm actually Captain Kirk in real life. Call me Jim!
