I don't understand the point, they aren't that much shorter than the 130hp
3.0l that performs much better....

I didn't know there was one of those, Gene.

but you say the specs are close? well if rated the same way. 100 hp
compared to 140 hp? that's an obvious 40% difference. Of course the
1.6 is almost half the displacement of the 3.0 too.

i wonder what products these are being installed?
