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.
