• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has anyone heard any rumors about a new 1600 engine for 2027 Spyders?

I highly doubt it, they have the 1330 de-tuned to the point it comes in with less HP and torque than other engines of comparable size, when it is capable of much more. Why configure a Spyder with a bigger engine if they are just going to tame it down, like they have already done.
 
Anything like a 1600 cc would have to be a major redesign. Although the belts have improved a lot since they first came out, a belt probably would not handle that kind of power. It would require complete rear end redesign to use a shaft drive. It might even come out with dual rear drive wheels, close set. Nothing the Can Am engineering department does surprises me anymore. More than likely it is just a rumor, and I would not buy the first couple years of any major redesign anyway. Might consider 3rd year after release if they got most of the bugs out. There might be a market for something like that, but not as all out power, more likely it would be geared for towing to handle heavier trailers.

Horsepower is how fast you going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you push the wall after you hit it.
