wtf compression ratio has nothing to do with willingness to rev
more a function of the crank/rod/stroke geometry of which the bore:stroke ratio tangentially plays into https://blog.k1technologies.com/stok...ngle-explained |

The real question: is the 86 a compact car with a sporty body, or a sports car with an economical drivetrain? Sort of like a vegetarian shark.

strangely written, "I almost went with the Subaru BRZ version, but Subaru already knows that people love fun cars and I think the guys at Toyota need to re-learn this from consumers." huh, wha?, almost sounds like he thinks subie and toyota have different versions, he could only be bothered to use stock photos from toyota can't even take one picture himself of his supposed tester...

Or he vomits enough semi-interesting words onto the post and he might make $20 from ad revenue today.
