200-20V w/ V8 front anti roll bar.

[Bernie Benz]

Charlie, I didn't know that you were a love bug!  Standing clear.

IMO, the rear bar addition would be most beneficial as an inclusion with the
stiffer front, A8, bar and then most noticable in track situtations.  Could
result in an almost great handler.  Who's to try it?

Bernie
