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... |

I’ve had four x sixes in my car over the 31 years of ownership. First was a 2.7 on webers that was great for about a week till it spun a main bearing and destroyed the case. Then came a 2.0 S that I got for $800 from a wreck that absolutely howled and sounded fantastic. I flogged the shit out of it and got 10 years of fun from it. Next was the 2.4 T motor which was underwhelming to say the least but all I could afford at the time. Currently running a 3.2 with nickies and 20/21 Web cam on motronic and love it.
3.2 is the best engine by far. Starts instantly, idles beautifully and totally tractable. Can doddle around town and get on it when required. 3.2 all the way! |
