True. Count your blessings, my Grandma used to say...

I've noticed that. Big fours don't rev well, but tend to produce
hellacious amounts of torque right where you need it. Oldsmobile
Quad-4, for example.

By my reasoning, you're right. :) I don't know if it counts, though,
since the core, the SR20, isn't really considered a truck engine in the
US. The valvetrain comes (sort of) from a Primera, and the turbo was
available on other blocks, too. 2 + 2 = 5 for extrememly large values
of 2, right? Yes, the SR20VET is a truck engine. ;)

I hear they're competent, too. I was just griping about how the US
seems to always get left out of the runnings when real performance cars
are built. :(

I don't think I need to upgrade my brakes any time soon. My B15/SE's
brakes are more akin to '98-00 Altima SE (is that a U15?) brakes than
anything else; a car which weighs significantly more than mine. I
should be okay for a while. :)
