dude, a 12?!!! r u kiddin' me? who need that beef in the boosted age? perhaps u're just very old, 70s and outta touch. we have 4's today that put out more than some 12's, k. lemme school u jes a tad.

today's focus is about economies of scale. the main piece being weight. to that end, there must be a balance between power and traction and power's ez enough w/o any 12. who in their right mind would even want that? more weight, cyls, plugs, and for what?

perhaps u just wax nostalgic, right? i suggest 2 subs - car & driver, autoweek. get educated.

Hey thanks for the education son! It's a good thing you "schooled" me since I have no idea what horsepower or torque mean given I graduated back in the 60's when all we did for more power was add cubic inches. What is this waxing nostalgic, me and my car buddies are used to using carnauba. I'll have to go to my local library and look it up. Thanks for the lesson young lad!

PS back in the "old days" we learned how to capitalize when writing our sentences.

saw the reveal today... impressive. hope they to not weigh this car down (so to speak) with too much tech toys. it looks like the Cadillac 16 or the Cadillac Exelero... i like it.

dude, u're killin' me here waxin' nostalgic, k. i must admit, i'm no spring chicken, mister. i felt compelled to respond cuz your comments seemed sooo retro. then u respond by mentioning carnauba - oh, that's low. WHY?? i remember the wax-on, wax-off days so very well and way before the karate kid movie. it's what we did on saturdays. so no rudeness intended although i can see where that may hard to realize. let's just say, we may have both been in college back in the 60s!

a local dlr recently tempted me with a 90s 600sl (12 Cyl). nice ride but omg. most 2 ton 6s would kick its ***. great torque though - still had to leave it on the lot.

lastly, the lower case is a programmer thing. we rarely use mixed when coding and i took it to the extreme.
