Not really. Perhaps more reliable than a watercooled Porscheboxer, and a really NICE engine, no doubt. But less power than a watercooler. And a Subaru 3.3 is better yet (and icing on the cake is affordability, not to mention exclusivity, as only 24000 were made).

In the winter of 68/69 there was about a METER of snow there. Great fun for us kids! -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
