he may be well known in early car circles, but he's taking a nice car and making it much more questionable.

Fact- Shorter gearing means it runs into redline issues sooner...making top speed LOWER.

Fact- Stock, 165 wasn't possible, and thats not rev related, it's aero limited. Shorter gearing might help it get up there faster, but it's also over sooner.

Fact- Any stock 2.4 shouldn't rev to 8.5K without floating valves. IMHO.

IF he's reved it and raced turbos, carreras, etc, and run it to that kind of revs, I frankly don't want it!

I am amazed anyone else does, frankly. The entire ad reeks of BS...where does the real car start?
