Mr. Hotair I mean Aircool, My first car was a 66' Chevelle with the 396. Pretty car but it handled like *&%# and you could not put the power to ground due to the nose heavy design. I do wish I still had the car though. Anyway I like the combination of great handling and awsome power, but unlike you I enjoy the car and it capabilities not sitting around patting my self on the back for owning a Porsche or Chevelle. I own a small Porsche shop and if you think that the Porsche flat six is the engineering marvel of all time I will be glad to show you all the 3.2 and 3.0 liter engines with broken head studs, worn valve guides, and bent valves from jumped timing chains. And I am not speaking of 250,000 mile engines I am talking of 50 and 60K engine. It is not perfect. Look I love Porsches and there engines, I have owned several unbastardized cars and loved them but everybody has there own opinion of what a great sports car, and my opinion is you can never have too much. Why do you think the 917 had over 1100Hp? Because it was God awful fast!!! I don't remember seeing any 180Hp 917s running around with the theory less is more.
