Hey...just a few things here.  First off, Car and Driver ALWAYS seem to have
faster acceleration runs.   Just think that it's weird.  Also, I was looking
at my 4000CSQ and teh GVW is listed at 3625 lbs.  The 90-91 coupe's certainly
look a lot bulkier than the 4000, so where is all the weight?  Is GVW listed
with passengers in tow?
