Why apply rube-goldberg design to good engineering? Seems the only turd
around here is the vito clown.

A 2.0 ltr DOHC 4 valve I4 reving 9000 rpm worked well for the Honda S2000,
which was far removed from a Rube Goldberg design. But, then the S2000 is a
different concept than the Vette and a very different driving experience
from my viewpoint. And, both are quite enjoyable with very decent 6 speed
manuals.

I've had some time in the driver seat of an S2000 and while a lot of fun if
you kept the revs up, I got tired of the engine noise after a while. That
never happens in my Corvette. YMMV.
