Maybe it an aircooled thing with me. I liked Fiat X1/9 s too. Or maybe its the stance from squat swing axles? Well, anyway the Alpines were always running balls-out high rpm. I figured they were 2 liters or less. I thought they came as 1300cc too. Not a lot of displacement is probably why the were always redlining. Back then they has the sweetest aftermarket mufflers on 4 bangers too. If you ever heard Kadrons on a beetle I always liked that sound. Now its regulated, and frankly, I don't want to hear a loud car anymore. I doubt I could even get in and out of most of the stuff I liked in the eighties.
