[s-cars] Feedback from the list

[Peter Dowker]

wow, I coulda had a v8?

Not sure I want a v8 actually. The price of petroleum products is not  
going trend downward in the long term methinks....
thus, a smaller displacement, variable power (forced induction) motor  
makes more sense for the kid...now, if we could ever source a turbo  
diesel....well, then I might look at upgrading body styles

YMMV  :) - your money may vary
