[V8] S8...

[Ron Wainwright]

Ken, I got  a friend who has an "03" & he let me take
it for a spin when I went to show him my new to me 91
v8 5spd.
 So we saddled up in each others cars & he dropped the
clutch & surprised me..off we went.
At 1st I was enamored watching how quick my 5spd got
up to speed, cause I look down at the S8's speedo & we
were doing 110'ish in a matter of no time.
But
I noticed how smooth the S8 got up to speed..torque
punches you in the face at 1,500RPM!!
handled incredibly, brakes are incredible..& I got Big
Reds..& the S8 brakes were comprable!
Paddle shifter..whoo hoo!

 I did feel a bit intimidated by all the funkiness of
all the switches, lighted things, etc on the center
console area & IC.
But what a freaking car!
