IRL sucked without that high-pitched wail.

Bring back the Menard V6's , or I wonder if anyone would dust off the famed 1994 Indy 500 winning Illmore/Mercedes pushrod V6's.

Personally, I miss the Buick Turbo V6s that ran Indy. I'd like to see Indy go back to the cutting edge technology and competing configurations instead of the one-for-all setup. But I guess that's too much to ask. |

I'm sure the teams will love this... There are so many more ways to cheat with turbocharged engines.

I wanna know what the interest level is amongst manufacturers in terms of 4cyl & 6cyl camps. In theory a 4cyl will get better mileage and be lighter, but would need twin turbos to make the power they are aiming for. 6cyl can easily do the job, as seen with the Buick/Menard & Illmor/MBZ loophole motors, but it will essentially come down to $$$. Anyone else like to see VW/Audi come and push for 4cyl motors, just for kicks? Would be nice to see GM get back into things with the Ecotec, since we've seen it make gobs of power in drag applications. |
