    And the power range is comparatively limited. I still remember the sound of the neighbor's '69 Camaro idling at about 350 rpm. Guh glug, guh glug, guh glug, guh glug, glug, glug glug, guh glug. Six pack on a blown 427. Red and blue flames on a white car. That dude had chicks all the time. I wanted his car, but I was only seven (7) years old.

    Modern gasoline simply evaporates in the fuel bowls of carburetors now, when the engine is switched off. That's why there's always excessive cranking to start after it sits for even ten(1O) minutes.

    Ok, I'll take your word for it. I was seven and never did get one of those cars. I got a lot of chicks a little later though when I was young and good-looking (I guess) and broke. I always thought it was because I was funny, but my daughter set me straight on that.
