RE: 91 V8Q

I think the best thing about the V-8 is what you dont hear but it deffinately 
is the smoothest motor I have felt.   Smooth as silk and strong in the upper 
RPM range.  Like Elliot said I was not to impressed with the off the line 
accelleration but was very impressed with the overall presentation of the car. 
 

I think the car is a great car if you live somewhere were you can really open 
it up at high speeds but it is a groggy car at low speeds.  I must say that it 
feels alot smoother than the I-5 esspecially in the 4000+ range. Honestly 
didnt know when we hit the redline untill Elliot told me.

i took pat for a ride in my car after you guys left.  didn't overwhelm
him with the raw acceleration, but he can tell you what he thinks about
the engine.
