we should all e-mail him with real facts....

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Stage three, well, Katy-bar-the-door, because here you get all of the above - often in stronger doses - along with a turbocharger

But to add 50 horsepower to one of these rigs meant boring out the cylinders, tinkering with valves, changing pistons ... a greasy, lengthy job.</font>
I would like to see him add a turbo to a audi A4 withough replacing pistons, and pulling the head off and doing work to that... what a joke.

Assuming you can even get to the engine in an Audi A4; a guy I work with has one of those, and he said they seal off everything so that the average weekend mechanic can't even get close to working on it.

That's the bummer about these new cars; they're getting as **** as Compaq when it comes to tinkering around with stuff.

What a unknowledgable moron!
You can still add a chip to the Firebirds and Camaros anyways.Next he'll be saying the Corvette isn't as good as a Honda Civic.
