Yeah, nice car...but can anybody find more than the 28 errors I found in the
ad?  Pretty cool that a "totally original" '90 has "variable valve timing,
telescoping steering wheel, power moon roof, 6 throttles, heavy duty clutch,
direct 5th gear, aluminum trailing link suspension, 6 speaker stereo,
one-touch up/down windows, drop-down tool kit, etc, etc, and 0-60 in 7
seconds".  Of course, that acceleration must have been connected to the fact
that this particular 3.6 V8 had "275 hp with max torque at 1800 rpm" and
weighed in at "3660 pounds"!  I should have bought a '90, my '91 is 300+
pounds heavier, 35 hp lower, a good second slower to 60, rated 5 mpg
lower...on the plus side, mine does not have "vacuum boosted" brakes,
different sized wheels front to back, nor did it come with a $60K price tag!
Brings a new status to YMMV.
