Yeah, back to looking at 2.2 and 2.4 engines while day dreaming. Not sure it is relational...
Just curious If there are any significant handling/weight advantages. I don’t think so, so does it come down to aesthetics of how the engine spin and sound? I will duck and cover now... |

Yeah, that sounds insane. A lot of people love the sound of the 2.2, and I am one of them (and was long before I became biased...), but there is just something about the even smaller 2.0 six. I noticed it even in a dead stock 1965 911 driven spiritedly by Peter Falk. Just elegant and luxurious and sporting and cool.... And then you have the race versions.
