Still doesn't change the fact that the only thing a modern engine is good for is to go fast.


Actually I've proven that wrong several times. The fact that you still believe it shows severe cognitive dissonance. Any research would show you are incorrect. The most research $$$ into a modern engine is flexibility. That was the entire point of pretty much all recent (last 30 years) improvement in production engines:
fuel injection
direct injection
variable intake lengths
variable cam timing and lift
multi-port engines (twin cam, 4-valve per cylinder, etc)
turbo chargers
variable vane turbochargers

But you can't comprehend these advancements and you have no reference point to digest them.

And with high speed car chases becoming more common, the only answer is to de tune engines back to what they once were.

We can't ban idiots, but we can certainly ban the cars they drive! :D


Again with completely false premises and one unsubstantiated. Yes, we can ban idiot drivers. No you can't ban the cars they drive. But you could implement a speed limit on all new cars sold. I'd recommend 160kp/hr (which AFAIK (without google search) would be the lowest speed limit implemented in a country). Japan would be the next lowest, with 180kp/hr.

Are high speed chases becoming more common? Or are you becoming more conservative and paranoid as you get older?

Essentially you are providing entertainment just like the kids on "kids say the darndest things"

You amuse me. Please post again soon.

No, you're not Shadow. The Shadow collective puppets are easily are easily recognizable by their total lack of even a vestige of real personality.

Yeah. They lack any real flavour, like Canadians.

Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments.
Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck!

There's no way I'm taking responsibility for Catweasel, but I'm OK with the others.

What the Count doesn't realise is that I am also him and Wulfgar.
1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.

No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
