Re: Interesting DOHC vs. pushrod 500+ motors
The point wasn't missed.
You went on in a post after Franks talking about drivability. The definition of that is going to be based upon a persons own goals, not someone elses. There are many 500 hp pushrod engines that don't idle like the examples shown. |

Re: Interesting DOHC vs. pushrod 500+ motors
The Mustang would not fool me at a traffic light. I wouldn't have guessed blown & injected....but me & my ZR-1 would know enough to stay away. There is something in the exhaust note...under the usual GT sound....sounds more like a BB at idle. There is too much bass for a stock sb.
 The Audi on the other hand would have suckered me! It doesn't sound much different than the hundreds of Audis running around where I live. I would have been smoked!  Nice machines!   Tom

I cannot keep anything without modding it, and I am a sucker for a sleeper. The audi is as far as I can take it without risk of blowing it to pieces, and I am just not willing to spend the cash on it. There are many cars on this forum that could take it out, but they better not flub the launch as the awd system work pretty well in that thing. From a roll, not so great. |
