I never did or will say the /4 is a bad choice, I stated there's a price point where the /4 is no longer the best choice. There's a member here who bought a full on Raby engine, he was happy with it, but after a few years he realized he really wanted a six, so he sold it and has installed a 3.2. I know he must have lost coin on that deal. Tom I'm not going to read that novel, too busy prepping a 996 engine for an LN 3.8 upgrade. But from what I did read on your opinion of the six I'd have to say you have absolutely no real experience to form an opinion. Your views on the six is stuck in the late 60's/early 70's at best. I'm done, no need to write another novel, I wont reply to it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) MArk - the price point is no where near where you say it is at $20K, & you are too full of yourself if you think that I have no basis for an opinion, based on 3 people working on 914s since you were in short pants - one of which was factory trained on them. I AM entitled to my opinion, & was respectful with you towards yours. So try being respectful in turn pal! Tom /////// |
