The same reason I'm not running (or had recently purchased) a six.
There is something most gratifying about running the "old school stuff" and "waxing the tails" of newest, latest, computer-driven cars in my "just a 4" (cool vanity plate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) ). Running, an engine essentially designed in what, the late thirties? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) I encountered a Mazada RX-8 entering the freeway last night and gave it a taste. We were both pedaling pretty hard, I having just shifted to fifth when a Mercedes newest latest two seater went by us like we were going backward, so its all relative. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I know my place in the "car universe" and I like it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) I also had a run against a brand new BMW 325 (entering the freeway also just last night), they are pokey. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif) At this time if I made any changes it would be for "emissions reasons", and I would make the jump to programmable electronic fuel injection. It seems to be common knowledge around here that there is maybe as much as 10% more power to be had with the change. John |
