You would burn about a gallon of oil every 1,000 miles if you used a two-stroke engine in a car.

I just need a new plug so I love my zilla again. And Really love two-strokes in general they are light engines and produce awesome power. Especially those with powervalves!!1

Niskibum, a bunch of 2 strokes will do that. Do your homework before arguing a point.

I personally think 2-strokes rule. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The very best high performance 4-stroke 450s can hang, but basically all the other 4-strokers out there are pretty lazy compared to the glory days 2-strokes of the '80s, in spite of their age. I just think 2-strokes are way more exciting to ride, to the point of being a bit scary, but that's what makes them fun and a basic exhaust mods brings huge HP. And besides, 2-strokes sound so evil!!

If the major companies would invest more in developing the 2-strokes, I think they could still be on top, but they are doing everything they can to neglect them now for the 4-strokes. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I think it would be awesome to see a 2-stroke engine in a car (it has been tested in prototypes, Toyota once made a test-mule Supra with a 2-stroke Inline-6!! Imagine how fast that could be), but emissions problems will probably keep that from ever happening, plus of course, the durability issue.

It sure is easy to say someone is wrong, but I don't see you listing any examples. How about you back up your statment with some examples?

4 strokes simply put out a lot more low end torque than two strokes, which is what is needed to pull heavy loads. A two stroke trying to do that same job would probably burn out it's clutch trying to stay in it's power band. Go do some homework yourself before you start making personal attacks.

Polaris Scrambler 400.....I brought deer out on it many times.
Polaris Sportsman 400
Polaris Xplorer 400

And these are just from one manufacturer.

My Suzuki pumps out enough torque to pull any hill yours will.

That enough for you?

To state that torque isn't produced by a 2 stroke is simply nonsense.
