You have to be a die hard to stick with slants and there are a number of us who do.
They are Not fuel efficient, anyone who says they are excellent on gas, I doubt it.
They are Not powerful, even upgrades do not liven them at the ratio of upgrade vs. Output, that an LA gets.
They are EXPENSIVE, I probably could have built 2 360s for what I have into the Slant in my valiant wagon.
Upgrade parts have seemed to have disappeared in the last 10 years and what you do find in 2024 has skyrocketed in price, making the Slant extremely NOT cost effective.
Yet, some of us just love them to pieces just because. Some things in life doesn't have to make no sense lol
