- If I had to add my two cents worth, and it seems that I do, I would suggest that the GT was discontinued because it didn't meet higher rollover requirements. That begs the issue of how the roadster s

- No, the reason was emissions. The higher weight of the GT caused the engine to work a little harder to acheive a given road speed. Since the emissions test was run by the EPA on a rolling road, it wa

- Not really. The weight is directly proportional to how hard an engine must work. A GT engine has to work harder due to higher weight. Simple as that! Regards, MGBChris@aol.com

- The increased load on the engine comes from increased rolling resistance (as well as the extra energy required to accelerate) -- ie. the amount of energy required to turn the tyres given the weight t

- Wait a minute. Unless I am mistakes, a rolling road refers to a setup where the driven wheels are contacting two rollers which have variable resistance to the tires turning them. So the car is STATIO
