“If the air exiting the intercooler is the same as the ambient temperature, then all the energy recovered by the turbo is lost.”

Yeah, no.

Few things are as good or bad as their reputation.

On one hand, the G56 never seemed as robust as the ZF-6 with the factory oil cooler, so it is not a big surprise that box was dropped as engine output increased. But on the other hand, a lot of the farming and ranching customers were loyal to the brand because those customers liked the manual transmission. And while…

A very small part of the market works the heavy pickup platform pretty hard. I tried to upland photos- no idea if they will show up.

Those doors, rockers, rear quarters, and probably the floor boards and firewall are shot.

Because the only thing IHC manufactured was the Scout...

Is the LeBaron now the standard of evidence for whether one is a car enthusiast? Was it cited here as fast car or as a dumb car? Does holding title to a dumb car qualify one as an enthusiast?

I think the only feedback they hear is this:

How could one pass by a Porsche motorcycle with a flat twin and comment only “looks fun”??

Some of the discrepancies may be explained by the person posing the ad being different from the person who owned the car. Condition of the yard suggests diminished energy. Perhaps someone (dad?) passed away and now a family member is listing the 944. Just a guess. Perhaps the kid(s) drove the 944 for a while, stuck…

If it was on the East Coast all that would remain is a small pile of some type of iron oxide.

Point to you. It does work as snark. Unfortunately, nothing else in the language of the post suggests awareness on behalf of the author. So, I really want to be believe that your perspective is correct, however....
