If you have a 3.2 L Build would you still drive a 2 L or 1.7 L car in the garage? |

Asking for a friend, this is a kind of ridiculous question given what’s going on in the world ....
Let’s imagine that this person had a civilized 3.2 L build, good manners and not high strong or overly jittery. Let us further imagine that this person also had a similarly civilized to your car and 1.7 L car, and just to make this a bit more apples to apples that those were also decent street cars that had good manners and we’re not overly tuned or jittery. Basically let’s assume that all three have stock interiors and shift decently and compliance suspensions etc. last assumption is that they all have a similar body condition so basically removing the variables except engine. I know that a couple people here have multiple cars so there may be some first-hand experience with this question, but yes, trying to figure out if my 1973 1.7l and/or 2.0L car will end up sitting idle once the 3.2L is up and running. Thanks in advance for the thoughts and hope everybody had a good week . |

^^ that being said, as I'm sitting here thinking, not sure I'd jump in my 6 and make a 8hr drive, where my /4 is actually totally good for that
*edit, but if I had a super quiet exhaust on mine like @Steve has on his I'd be all in on that too... |
