a math I havenot seen yet, as it crushes the japanese whirlwind of screaming inline fours....

the fantastic power for weight difference a 3 main boxer gives versus the yoyo counterbalance of an inline...same displacement needs gigantic air on the inline to be equivalent.

funny enough..there has never been a dyno for them. Through real life blogging and forums... I did take note the 1781 at 180 hp is playing with the 5 main subaru wrx easily... nearly 100% less power, and less than 500 pounds different. Ya know what I mean? A math for the engine and loss..does not ever equal the hp number written..all bad theory.

it is a sweet frustration for me.
