I'm the same way. Give me a throaty, normally aspirated pushrod V-8 over these pressurized little, screaming buzz bombs, that have no longevity what so ever. They're not practical on the street. Try to trade in a turbo with 80,000 miles on it. They'll give you nothing because everything under the hood is timed out, and ready to go south..... At an ungodly expense to repair. Sadly that's the way the industry is going. These engines are about as disposable as toilet paper.... And last just about as long.
