Those d#mn Chrysler engineers didn't know what they were doing when they left all those crossover's open.Look at the millions of motors they screwed up. :whistling




The engineers were just making a compromise to appease the masses, the average buying public, which we are not.
It made for a car with quicker/better warm-up manners, many sales would have been lost if Chrysler got a reputation for running poorly when cold.
A slight decrease in power was the penalty, which the masses were far less likely to notice.
Much like soft-shifts in an automatic, super light power steering, and soft suspensions-the buying public equated that with quality---the owners 40 years later? Not so much!
