Guys,
Speaking of actual horsepower along with some concrete
numbers for those listers among us that become aroused
with the mention of statistics and such, I'd like to
organize a dyno day for those of us interested.  A 4
wheeler just recently opened up in nearby Norwalk, CT,
which is close enough to NYC for most of us.  I'd like
to get a stock S4 there for some baselines.  Those of
you interested, e-mail me, so that I can start begging
them to give us a group rate.  Sorry for you listers
not in the area, but you're more than welcome to head
on over from Ohio and such if you'd like to roll on
the numbers machine.
