I know it's kinda apples and oranges... but anywho my best buddy has a
Mitsubishi Eclipse with I think a 1.9L 4cyc. I have a premag 3.9L in my dak.
We were always close in mileage (~160,000). And I never lost a drag race to
him and well this summer with him at 166,000 his died.... the little daky is
still kickin and running perfect not to mention still spanking his new 1.9L
engine. JMHO
