I'm having a dilemma...
Does this mean since I'm modeling my Geo Metro after the VW XL1 with it's small diesel engine that now instead, I should abandon that and re-power it with a Suzuki Hayabusa motor...???
Features:
◾Engine: 1340 cc (82 cu in), 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve
◾Top Speed: 248 miles per hour (397 km/h)
◾Power: 197 horsepower (147 kW) @ 6750 rpm 147kW
At least this way I would still be loyal to Suzuki since it manufactures the Geo.
Think about it. One could couple the Hayabusa engine to the existing Geo transmission with a chain drive so that it utilizes both transmissions. That way with a 6-speed and a 5 speed, one would have nearly infinite gear selections modes.
One could label the different modes with names like...
Stump puller - (for the farmer)
Tow - (for the outdoors man)
Normal - (for normal people)
Sport - (for the enthusiast)
Suicide - (for the daredevil)
Economy - (for the penny pincher)
And...
Super economy - (for Mr. Scrooge)
If I were to do this.
I would have to rename it from the Geo XL 1 to the...
Geo XL1 SS. (Super Sport)
