90 V8

[Kneale Brownson]

Depending upon your chip, your wagon's probably the more sprightly 
drive.  The V8 is probably more quiet and comfortable and, properly set 
up,  more stable at the really high speeds you can't drive much except at a 
track (unless you're a pilot in the wide open spaces of the southwestern 
desert).   I prefer driving my 200q20v in rural/town settings, but on the 
X-way, our V8 makes for a great ride.
