Ever since I heard the "turkey" , I loved it...then I registered here and read all the threads about how bad the "turkey" was. They all theorized that the sound was bad. I have not this point responded to these threads as I'm new and did not want to say something stupid (wrong, insulting, already said)....so I kept my mouth shut. I always felt a major auto maker would not let a specialty vehicle like ours leave the development stage if a flaw as glaring as the "evil turkey" was in fact, bad.
(shocked) (shocked)
I used to live in Connecticut....home of Callaway Cars. I have been to and toured their entire facility. They are not ordinary tuners. There is a reason that Mazda chose them to develope our cars. They been building WORLD CLASS turbo and non-turbo engines since 1973 (officially) and even earlier. These guys have been paid buy super-car manufacturers to develope and build engines for LeMans(crazy). If they build and engine with no budget limit that can run at near red-line for the better part of 24 hrs......then I trust them to build a reliable street engine at the lowest cost (that wont grenade a turbo under above average abuse).....sorry I digress
I know they mainly appear as American Muscle folks but check this link out : http://www.callawaycars.com/From_creating/milestones.html
Back to the turkey..........Callaway would just NOT allow the turkey if it was bad........I Think they did better then the major manufacturers would and the turkey is sign of that.
Has anyone heard a rally car (350+ hp, 2-liter, 25+psi boosted) psyco rides.......THEY ALL HAVE THE TURKEY......EVERY LAST ONE. Watch them on SPEED. Even the weak-ass american rally cars have it .......I just watched it on t.v.
IF the turkey is bad no race tean would allow it in a race car
There i said it .....the floor is open to all......go ahead rip me a new one.......i'm just looking to see what every one else thinks..or am i just having a bad acid trip when i watch FIA world rally.
Please don't take this as arrogance .... I'm letting my thoughs out after reading the threads about the calls to Callaway
