I've seen them & 100% agree they're the way to go if you're jumping in the technology end of the pool.

I dont care fot the 6/8speed transmissions. I like to be able to manually shift when desired & don't care for paddle shift options. I'm wading in the kiddie pool

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
