Interesting point nemesis, what kind of mileages are we talking here? My specs. 18 yr. old technology, paid 10k 10 yrs ago, drove 48,000 miles, still worth $6,500. mileage 30mpg freeway trips, 24mpg daily driving. 1/4 mile 14 sec@100mph. Insurance 220/yr. Are turds aero efficient, BTW?
i don't blame you for being critical of the vett, but since it's an American icon it's hard to deicon it. is that a word?
i would like to see much smaller 3 & 4cyl. engines, (under a liter), but don't know about durability. What is your displacement?
Some confusion, we were taking out pistons on the VW, but just computer programing on the vett.
The cyl. deact. is computerized now.
