Tough crowd? I thought the "negs" (barely negs) were pretty mild and polite.
I wasn't trying to be tough or down on it in any way. It's real cool in its own way but it's certainly not old school. I tend to feel the same way about air bags and fancy stereos.
Science and engineering have brought us virtual automotive miracles today (the Cadillac CTSV comes to mind) and I fully appreciate the tech side of the industry/hobby. I'm also aware that flatties have limitations that technology can't overcome and I like them that way.
Oh, and just to be clear, I wasn't talking about this engine with my "bolt-on" comment. I'm talking about guys who think they can easily hotrod a flattie to high horses. This engine proves it ain't easy and that's my point.
