Oh, and the Ford road car craps all over a Holden. At least Holden have now ventured into 80's technology with their engines now Laughing

I assume this is a reference to Holdens V6 finally gaining Overhead Camshafts?

Sorry to break the bubble for ya buddy, but twin-overhead cam engines are a concept exactly 100 years old. They were first used to set the marine speed record 99 years ago, by a company called Delahaye. Peugeot ran 7.6L cars that won Grand Prix's in 1912 that used DOHC's, beating cars using 14 Litre engines.

16Valve Twin-Cam 4-Cylinder, 1912 style:

Don't make me explain the packaging and weight benefits of pushrodded "Dinosaur" engines. Nor should I need to explain the physics of valve area, airflow needs etc. etc. that render DOHC setups virtually unneccesary below 5,500rpm.

Can ya dig it ?

so we should say welcome to 1910 then?
