Yeah, too bad the Cosworth Vega didn't make it, otherwise we might
all be driving cars that scream "FOUR VALVES" on the rear deck
instead of "Turbo."  I guess the original Vega stigma was too much
for even Cosworth to overcome.  "GM ... We do chicken right !!!"

BTW, four valve motors ARE high revvers, but that doesn't mean they
don't make power down low.  Far from it !  One of the free breathing
design's advantage is VERY STRONG midrange.  In bike motors, the
Honda Interceptor 750 will outslug many 850's and 900's,  and the
Yamaha Vision 550 (a V-twin), the other way-rad recent application,
will outpull a Kawasaki GPz550 (an inline 4), the undisputed class
champion so far, before the GPz comes on the cam.
