Greg: It costs as much to insure a GTI in Germany as it costs to
buy a 'vette in the US. Well, it seems like it anyway! :-)

IIRC, here's the gist:

Start: Question about manifold with integral intercooler for a V6 twin-turbo.
--> Suggestion to throttle the runners individually for throttle response
 --> Suggestion that it's overly complex and too complex to implement
  --> Description of simple construction and reference examples
 --> Suggestion that air-liquid intercooler was too esoteric
  --> Reference examples of high-performance cars using such in production
   --> Suggestion that such cars are irrelevant and "exotic"
    --> Reference to base technologies having been in use for over 25 years
     --> Suggestion that EFI was only brought about by EPA requirements
