The point: it is 100% feasible to build and sell high-rpm n.a. engines in 2020 model year cars. And again, the thread is a *WISH LIST*, why even have the thread if people aren't allowed to even WISH for something a wee bit better than what we have now?
My objection is not to people wishing for anything. It is this mind set that whatever they want is "easy" or "can be done". They can make just about anything they wan within the regulations but it would cost. Not even going to try to discuss such things as carbon credits and how they use them to make specialty engines in top line cars. If the cars were built based on this wish list they would be two or three times the price they are and then it would be a whine list.
