Its not until you start to compare all kinds of units in practice you will then see it is totaly outclassed in areas of proper control of fuel/spark/control,
Yes the L8 works but then start to look at how the load points work/interputale the Autronic and others are seemless where the likes of the older L8 has is much more coarse and the fueling will never be perfect everywhere to the targets you are aiming for,
Then look at the speed of the Ecu and you will see it struggles when the rpm starts to get high,
Yes a L8 works but the modern programble Ecu's are just better everywhere.

Thing is once you have found it it couldn't be more bloody obvious

AND he didn't have the latest Jordan calendar, that was a MAD trademark
