Bill Malik is one of the best rally drivers on the west coast, and 
has a very trick 240.  You have never heard any volvo motor sound
anything remotely like this long rod, high rev beast.  He has enough
power to continually snap driveline parts. The motor has been moved
back to improve weight distribution. He is known for his sideways
driving style and excellent results.  I think he was third in U2
at the national level last year.  The only way I have beaten him is if 
he breaks down.  In short, yes, incredible.
