Wow. C/D was so much less "Dumbed down" than it is now. Talking about "noble metals"? Try that now with their readers.

Hey Ken, I knew I wasn't crazy, but you had me doubting. It was saying in that article what I was talking about in the one thread about the 75mm throttle body. The intake runner lengths are different, they are two different lengths to spread the torque curve.

The length of all the runners is roughly the same, if you add the length inside the plenums.

I like that stuff too, very informed article, I like the mentions of the LH euro version.
Here is a link to the NY times article about the US 85

wider tires and a euro engine would have helped this too But it was great seeing the 928 in the shot.
