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
