The worst car you've ever driven...

You are getting that now? I do hope you live in a small city

Very. I know I could double that with half the cylinders and half the car and probably half the octane and definately half the fun.

15 - 17 bucks for 100km travelling is cheaper then most bus and train services in Autralia

Far easier to tune EFI computer base ignition than a complex 4 Barrel, lumpy cam and dodgy distributor. Plug me in.

But when it goes awry? Then you're screwed. Not to mention these electronic systems are that much more to maintain in and of themselves, and today's cars have almost no room to even do basic maintenance. I really don't think shadetree mechanics are going to bother.

PS I don't like lumpy cams. Not enough low-end torque, and makes the engine rev too high for its power. I prefer realitively big heads paired with a mild, near-stock cam packed with as much lift as I can get out of it. For the 351W I wanna build, I'm thinking AFR165 heads (165cc intake ports, 1.94" intake valve/1.6" exhaust valve) and a cam that's only about 210*/210* @ .050 and ~.500/.500 lift. This makes for a mild mannered engine with an extremely broad powerband that pulls just about everywhere, plus it maintains a more agreeable idle and gets better mileage. Although the power will probably peak around 6k rpm (very very high for me), it will have nearly as much torque under 2k rpm as my 302 currently does, and more advantageous gearing will keep it a very strong motor around town. This is all according to Engine Analyzer 3.0 which has so far proven itself fairly accurate.

I haven't touched my carb in a long time, it still runs like a swiss watch. It doesn't take much to tune it, same for the dizzy. Try workin on one sometime, it's not bad at all.

You buy another ECU. By then I'll probably have the software on my ipod anyway.

apple does have AMAZING software ill give them that
it wouldnt suprise me if you could run your car from an iPOD in 2 years
