<VV> OBD, EFI, 30 MPG Corvettes, etc.

 Yep, not only that, but 100,000 mile tuneup intervals, exceedingly low scheduled maintenance, and superior reliability unheard of 40+ years ago.

Yes, and we can thank the gadgets that require OBD to manage for that clean air, as well as for 30 MPG Corvettes and Mustangs (at least according to their commercials ?)

In all fairness, a turbocharged   Corvair makes the same stench. It's NOx emissions, which highly efficient   engines or engines with high combustion chamber temperatures are notorious for   producing. The catalyst can't deal with the insane levels of NOx under full   throttle from these engines, which, by the way, is NOT part of the EPA test   cycle. Thankfully! 

Quite frankly, I do NOT miss my eyeballs burning   from the unburned fuel from being behind an overcarbed V8 American muscle car.   Being behind a modern Corvette, etc., is an easy breathing experience. And a   new Corvette also gets 30 MPG on a long cruise, making high performance cars a   relatively sin free experience as compared to 40 years ago or more.

When I walk in my neighborhood, it's usually fairly level so that doesn't 





happen too often, but I wonder what makes that odor ?





Something is burning off center at those loads ?
