40 years ago.. I think we'd all love to have that power and that reliability in the engine, clutch, and especially the gearbox----thousands of shifts at full throttle, no problems..

Cars are so complicated, so delicate, so insanely costly....so bad one a handful of people can afford to really piska djävlarna ordentligt....... I mean what does just a gearbox and axles cost from Sadev for a little Ford Fiesta FWD car? ca 100,000 kr or more... Who has money for that?
Why not use the 2T Bombardier engine used in Evinrude outboards in cars. How would that do? The Evinrude beats the 4T outboards everytime in power, effeciency etz!
