I ask because I've been hearing alot of rumors saying that the D20 motor will be discontinued in another year or so. They say that the 2006 will be equiped with the D23 standerd and an optional V6. They don't say anything about the D20 or it's counter part the D20E (which I have). Did I just buy another SPI (persay)

It's TRUE though. I spoke with all the manufacturers out there & their reps all told me they didn't want to produce for the d20 because they wanted to make the people who bought them feel stupid. They were laughing under their breath ("dumb-ass's, lol bought another SPI! lol")

. I'm just worried that's all. I can't afford to have another SPI. I was just hearing rumors, then I posted, found out about the Ford Fusion, felt like a dumb ass for posting and now I'm leaving. Thank you
There was a thread here a few months ago where Walter Marcy was explaining that the 2.0 was better suited to be a rev-monster. It's shorter stroke would allow it to be built to go well above 8krmp. (Granted A LOT of prep-work needed to be done)
The longer stroke of the 2.3 make those kind of rpms a little more difficult to achieve. One person compared the piston speeds neccesary to do that with the 23 equivalent to the piston speeds of an f1 engine.
