It is a combination of good equipment, good driver and thick wallet. You also need to be very careful and test any engine before you buy. Many of the front runners in S1 and FKS rent engines for the championships and you will not be buying those. There are also some very genuine ones for sale but proceed with caution.
A very quick engine could also be on the biggest possible piston and at the next service will need a new barrel - so not the same engine anymore.
The high prices being asked do rely on new parents willing to spend that sort of money and you also need to bear in mind that the comer W60 will lose a lot of value if a different engine is selected for the British Championship (in 20102 or 2013?) so you should not consider it as an investment.
The engine is also just part of the package and you need to look also as how often chassis is changed, team experience in set-up and driver coaching.
If you are working on a limited budget then another alternative would be to continue with comer club racing but do Easykart as a national series. The restrictions make it a very level playing field and even with the cost of the kart it would still work out cheaper than a top comer engine and you get the chance of competing at the World Finals in Italy (116 cadets this year). We went down this route 2 years ago and it was the best move for us.
