Rat rodders don't give a fuck about going fast or taking turns. They also think primer is a color. They are the steampunkers of the hot rod universe - so long as it's made out of ostrich feathers and has surplus "e"s in the name, it's cool by default. I'm agnostic as to motors. My primary beef is affected primitiveness. Harley Evos? affected primitiveness. Pushrod V8s in the year 2016? affected primitiveness. For nearly any automotive application you care to name these days, there's probably a VVT DOHC sub-2L inline 4 that's doing the job quite nicely, thanks. But from an "art" standpoint? Fuckin' Ferrari 512 ain't bad. Too bad you can barely fit them on the road. For "real world" I gotta say there's something about the radial valve MV Agusta F4... ...but when I call an MV Agusta F4 "real world" you know I'm fucked in the head anyway.
