<VV> Corvair vs. semi-mundane FWDs

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 And BMW stole it from the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. Which, hit 300 HP from a 3 liter engine WAY more than a decade EARLIER than BMW! 

Now, presently, the state of the art at Nissan is a 3.8L twin turbo V6 in the GT-R, pumping out 480 HP, which, by most accounts, is low balled by 50 HP. 

Not to take anything away from the TT Ecoboost, which is available in relatively affordable vehicles.

Gee Seth,
     Maybe you should try one of the new "Eco Boost" twin-turbo Fords.  Looks 
like they're stealing a page from BMW's book with DOUBLE turbos.

The SHO was only a hoot on   
the freeway, where it scooted right along. I saw 140 in it once!
