[V8] The original 5-speed 4.2 goes down the road!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Holy smokes!  I thought four v8's in the family over 11 years was a lot.
But five in the stable at once -- now that's impressive :-)

> This is my 6th V8 and by far the nicest.  The power of the 4.2 with the 5
speed is amazing.  After the 250 mile trip back home, it was only approriate
to meet my wife at HOOTERS to celebrate the new purchase.  I followed her
home in her new 300C AWD Chrysler (330 HP) and she had a tough time pulling
away from me.

Keith and have some exhaust work and the ECU "Chipped"

have been "sight unseen" and all 4 have been great.  (I think I need a
bigger garage)
