[Shotimes] OT - IRL Gen 4 Chevy, NOT!

[Ron Porter]

Cosworth is a job shop, doesn't matter who owns 'em. When a new engine is
developed, whoever pays the bill gets their name on it. That new engine has
nothing in common with anything Chevy sells. If Hyundai or Ford or Kia paid
for the development, their name would have been on the same engine.

Personally, I have no interest at all in open-wheel racing (give me
doorslammers!!), but for the folks I know who like open-wheel, none of them
care about the IRL. 

If I were a Ford stockholder, I wouldn't want them to waste racing $$$ on
the IRL, either.

IMHO, it is yet another Ford mistake!  Just think Ford could have come into
IRL and be a major presence, instead it lets GM pull their head out of their
ass...

Anybody else find it humorous that Chevy's new Gen 4 IRL engine, which
dominated and should have won at Michigan yesterday, is made by Cosworth
(Ford)?

I guess a Ford by any other name would be a Yamaha - err, vice versa,
whatever....
