Aaand, that's it. Generally speaking in the rest of the world, you can produce a higher hp/liter higher polluting engine than what the 86 has, but first world governments tax the hell out of them which gets passed onto the consumer so nobody would buy it. Porsche and Ferrari do it on their supercars because the buyers are willing to pay the taxes on the fast cars that cost more than most people's homes, people were up in arms about $25k for this shitbox at 200hp, crank it up to 240hp N/A and add on another $5k-$10k to the price tag (not just taxes, but development costs to find the power in more complex and accurate castings and post-machining process for the heads of this car) and nobody in their right mind would pay Mustang GT/Camaro SS money for the tin can with a hyped up sewing machine under the hood.
Y'all should just slap a supercharger on it and quit yer bitching. |
