[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 153803, member: 20655"] Nephron, just to correct one point relative to diesels.."2 cycle CAT motors"; Caterpillar build very fine large 4-Stroke diesel motors. Detriot builds 2-Stroke diesels. The 2-stroke diesel design was a WW11 product and lasted in a variety of configuations untill the early 1980's !! They were(are) awesome. I had a Turbo charged and supercharger (yes both) 8V92TTA in a truck that put out over 400HP at the rear wheels. They are STILL used in some industrial and marine applications because of the power to weight deal....BUT They are no longer offered in highway vehicles because of emmissions. Now Detriot Diesel also has a line of four stroke diesel motors for highway use. Has since the 80's. The two stroke business is dying for them..... Sometimes we forget the government is about creating legislation to force change at times. Those changes generate business. Forcing 2-Strokes to be back burner designes is going to cause a massive amount of money to be spent to both 4-stroke reseach for off roads use and more expensive products as a result. taxes are a percentage of sales...figure it out. They just stirred the pot...we will all respond in our different ways. But one thing that will be a very predictable result is the a whole bunch of money has and will be spent as a result of this threat by the feds. :( [/QUOTE]
