I don't know how they get away with that. Does anyone else? What kind of modern car? For example, a modern small-displacement 4-valve Honda has comparatively small valves and VERY mild cams, even compared to a stock 1600 VW. Plus, with overhead cams, I *think* there's fewer problems with rocker inertia causing float. Just guessing...
