Bob,

I over power with 4 strokes, because I can .

Would you buy a Corvette with a 6 cylinder engine??


Bob
Not a chance. #1 it's a Chevy and #2 it won't carry a gas model to the airfield. ;-)

Now, if they made a nice turbo wagon that would get 30 mpg, carry three planes at once (one IMAA legal) and still do over 140 mph or handle twistry back roads equally well . . .

I don't know about the 30mpg part, but it will get your planes there quick! [link=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2011-cadillac-cts-v-wagon-long-term-test-review]CD CTS V wagon test[/link]
