RE: And the mustang wins!

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

... there is a gentleman in California's Central Valley with an S4 with
a license plate "ME 262" who does battle with the big V8s at the
dragstrip.  He has done more than $100 in mods mind you (including NO2).
I think he's surprised a few folks there, but my point is that he is
also a salesman, and ME 262 is his daily driver as well ...

I'm not teriffically into drag racing, but I've heard rumors that there
are some tricked out 4-bangers that give the big iron fans some
competition ...
