    However, it would be nice if you would actually reply to the info I post! I may as well be talking to a wall.

    Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you have a brain.

    Answered your own question there.

    Lazy:# Resistant to work or exertion; disposed to idleness.
    # Slow-moving; sluggish

    So then - an engine that is slow revving, or slow moving would be "lazy".

    And FYI the question mark should appear outside of the quotation marks, unless it is part of the quoted material.

    Would you please read what I actually wrote. Think about it, then conclude with why your posting the above passage is totally redundant.

    The 350 Oldsmobile "W" engine could rev to 6,600 rpm.
    Fleet, please, PLEASE, remember you are in an internatioanl forum.

    yeas, a whole 6,500 IS "high revving" for you.

    It's NOT for the rest of the world.

    I could find '60s road test after road test of Euro cars which had redlines of less than 6,500 rpm.
