<VV> Exercise those secondaries...

[Dave Thompson]

It's very possible you will take me. I'm no street racer now. I did that in
high school in my 70 Mustang. I built it in High School auto shop and at
home. I won my share of races off the line (AND got my share of tickets
too.)
Today, I just like to cruise the old girl. We do like to stretch our legs on
a good sprint now and then.

I tell guys that ask how fast she is that "Almost any car here can take me
off the line, now give us some turns, that's another story all together."

Dave,

OK, this might create a tad of controversy...

A 140 will "walk" your turbo - up to about 60 mph.

So, if you want to be quick away from the light - get a 140.

I've NEVER had the problem Mr. Young mentioned to start this thread.
