If we all agree that turbo cars are less reliable long term, then how do the new 2017 models stand a chance in lasting 20-40 years or more?
constant rebuilds? jack stands? anyone have a thought? |

This thread was originally about turbo cars. Someone started talking about all the electronics that have to be used on modern cars and how expensive it is to replace some of it. That's when the thread started to get "off topic". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Manufacturers have gone to such lengths as computers, smaller displacement engines and turbo-charging to make modern engines powerful, reliable and clean burning. I just wanted to suggest maybe they have taken the internal combustion engine as far as they can.
