It's time for the 3.2 conversion!!
If you win the lottery go with the 3.6.

[Apendix A.
Regarding your comment about having 5 gears vs. his 4.... Well, gears are just for keeping your engine in the meaty part of the torque curve. The broader an engine's torque curve the fewer gears it needs to be effective. As long as you always have a gear the puts you in the fat of the torque curve you have enough. For some cars that means 4. For others it means 5 or even 6. Some get by with as few as 2. ]

Your right on with that. I lost twice to mustangs on the freeway slalom because I was out of my torque curve. Too fast to down shift, not fast enough for the revs to pull on the stang.

That article reminded me of my dearly departed spider (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). Oh well. Interesting topic, I was deciding on a 914 or a 02 jsut a few months ago. I decided on the 914 obviously, but would still like a nice 02.

I don't think there is anything slower than my 914, except maybe a Chevy Sprint.
