well, the good news is that a lot of the motors that fit this class (even in an all US market sample) are known to be able to make 2-3x their factory numbers on stock bottoms, and spin to 8-10k in the process, on the street, reliably.

but yeah - you potentially have a VERY good point. It might help to keep the class modern by evolving out the older stuff. thank you, Casandra.
