Re: Fwd: Porsche/V8

Ouch.  I pity the wrath you're about to feel from the Audi gods.  Why not
just get a REAL V8 (right eliot)?!!!

As far as trannys go, most audi trannys aren't even interchangeable with
other audi trannys.  Some of the P-cars use the same trannys as some of
the Audi's.  But I'm quite sure the 911's don't.  Especially seeing as how
they're rear engine, rear-wheel-drive cars.  If you're really interested
in a Chebby V8, go get yourself a Camaro and you can be one of those
goobers the rest of us beat.

We're still wonderin' what's gotten into Graydon.  I hope he's gonna be
OK.
