Aussie Jimmy,
If you are correct about the displacement increase coming from a longer stroke, won't that make a higher redline even more difficult to warranty and increase manufacturing costs ? It also may not spool up quite as quickly as a short stroke. I hate to lose any of the existing engine's character. It is just too damned good. I guess we will soon know.

there's too much talk around; we either gonna be amazed or underwhelmed. no middle ground now.

The nice thing about low expectations is that one is rarely disappointed and even more rarely surprised.
I hope this one is an outlier.....500 HP, 8,800 rpm, RSR lite look, 2,900 lbs, no goofy options, no gimmicky dash clocks, no boy racer graphics. Just do it right, give Mezger his nod and give us a true '73 RS legend fighter. Just once throw away the margin driven idea of giving the loyal core audience a $35,000 bill for $5,000 of parts and instead deliver something over the top. Give us something that will have boundlessly more soul than McLaren can ever genetically engineer in his sano lab. Give us a new legend.Then move on to the inevitably cost and platform sharing driven successor.

As if the this kind of car is anything but a very expensive toy. Relax and don't take yourself so seriously. What we are doing here is a high impact version of playing with Barbie dolls.
I love my boy racer graphics and crazy wing uprights. Unlike a riced up Civic the car can back all that stuff up.
I do have a "civilian" car for when I am not playing boy racer.

Now we're talking. We can send fedex amaist a couple of decal sets so we don't have to peel them. As long as we're dreaming how about they throw in an LSD that works, factory cage (screw DOT), factory 5 point Schroth, full titanium exhaust system, braided stainless lines and a few throwback colors. I need to wake up.....
