Just think if someone made a movie about souped up 4x4 trucks a few years ago what the value of his truck would be now..............

you're comparing a 2006 DOHC 16V 4 cylinder to a 1992 SOHC 8V 4 cylinder

it only took mitsu 14 years, one extra cam, and 2 more valves per cylinder to beat it

just because an engine is in production doesn't mean it's good.

nor does one that makes a lot of power. mean it's good

400HP--big deal. can we say TUR-BO-LAG? something that extra 1.0L won't give you
