Is it me, but why isn't this topic getting more attention???? I mean... Car and Driver names the F20c the Best Naturally Aspirated Engine of ALL TIME.....

Sillier topics seem to get all kinds of attention and this one gets so few replies...... Seems weird to me.....

 

Me too. I mean this is a BIG DEAL.

 

Yeah... I really do find it puzzling..... This car was all about the F20c engine.... An engineering marvel.....Like I have said in past, just like the air cooled 911s that were totally analog are now the most coveted.... this car will eventually be the one people will want to years to come.....Unfortunately as they become cheaper, they will make their way into the hands of people who will tamper and abuse.....

But to be given as much thought and debate by Car and Driver over best NA engines ever made and the F20c is #1 is by far the best accolade this car ever received....

Why not link directly to the list on Car and Driver? Seems kinda spammy. Either way, there's already two discussions on it:

No spam.... But the Car and Driver article wasn't the first time the F20c was considered one of the Greatest Engines of all times.

"Why has no-one else selected this
engine as the all-time great? Illeducated,
soulless bunch. What’s
not to love about this unit? It’s got
power: 240bhp to be exact, meaning
it has more horses per liter than
any other naturally aspirated engine
– ever. It’s got character too: actually
it’s got two – one, shy, retiring type
below 6,000rpm, and a fuel-crazed,
raver above and beyond to 9,000rpm.
But there’s more – this DOHC
powerhouse sounds gorgeous at full
flight; like it belongs in the nose of a
Touring Car racer or even between
the legs of the maddest motorcyclist.
And it’s fuel efficient in that one
can – “one” I assume being someone
limper of wrist – drive to an average
of 13.6L/100km (32mpg). Hell,
it even looks good, longitudinally
mounted as an engine should be.
You just gotta thrash this one:
it wants it; it demands a thorough,
daily clear out – make that between
each gear change (which, by the
way, is another joyful experience
because the stubby lever is
connected to the greatest gearbox
of all time – another story).
Faults? Just one: Honda installed
it in the S2000, a sports car the
rump of which is not always as
faithful as the power source.
Dads, grandads, then great grandads...
this engine will be a
talking point for a long time to
come. This is the greatest engine
of all time, and, thus far, it’s got
five International Engine of the Year
Awards trophies to prove that fact."

 

Not my point, you are linking to a blog (hence blogspam) that then links to the Car and Driver list, rather than linking directly to Car and Driver. This other list, yes you are linking directly to the source. I'm not arguing the greatness of the engine, just questioning the post itself. It's as if you are trying to draw traffic to a website.
