[V8] the new guy

[Ron Wainwright]

Yes I have heard the same thing.... I know a few people on the AW D2 forum ;-)
 I got to drive a local AW listers... maybe you seen him post Paul K? Not his screen name... I think it's pkrasusky (sfest fame) But,
I got to drive his & it was crazy! Instant power, the responce was incredible. Seemed like it came on @ 1,500rpm. Handled great for stock, I guess these cars have sport suspension?
 & I know Tozo... didn't he put a 6sp in his? But if I was to descide to get such a beast I would aquire the rite parts for a 6sp swap & BUWAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA ;-)
 But,
 you'd have to drag me kicking & screaming from my D11 V8 5sp. I'll be barried in that car!

 But, man you've been posting up a storm! Changing your mind a bit about selling your car? :-)
 & whats your AW screen name?

 Ron
