Lousy Brakes?????  I don't know where you got that one from.... Have you
Driven a S4 Bi-Turbo Brett?  I own one and I drive harder than most everyone
on this list and I have no complaints about the brakes.

Once again You need a touch more research. The S4 block is a derivtive of
the 2.7L DESIEL Block for more strength.  Have you seen the bottom end?  It
would make a Chebby hot-rodder envious.  The Lover main caps are a single
unit that is also cross bolted to the block.....
