Very little worth buying these days. Everything is turbo. American muscle is the exception, but for how long? Direct injection is bad enough, but a 2.0 turbo is a terrible engine regardless of who makes it.
V6 is in the wrangler is probably on its last legs too, the 2.0 turbo motor will be pushed hard and the V6 phased out unless the jeepers do what they did with the manual and riot.
IFS in a G-wagen.
Turbos in 911 that don’t say turbo.
No manual Ferraris in a decade. All turbo except the v12.
Lambo/Audi are going to kill the V10 soon to be replaced with a turbo V8.
What’s left that’s any good? The 4500 plus pound massive HP mopars, the GT350[R], and the V8 Camaro/vette in the US and the blower jags and GT pcars and 812 and the lambos/R10. |
