This is only a hypothetical question mind.  |
If they are using different pistons, rods, shafts and all that in press car engines, that would be a major cheat. Yes, a journalist can simply open the trunk and see that, but they might start asking questions after they've driven a production car when they feel the difference. And I think one can feel the difference in increased response and the additional 40 hp. At least some of them should be able to. Then there is the issue of people eventually "talking". Those guys in the factory who put the engines together might start telling stories after they retire or leave the job. I am not saying it is not impossible, but it would be extremely risky IMO. Not worth risking your brand image over...
