<VV> Smitty beats most everybody.

[Frank DuVal]

Yes Bob, James seems to be stuck on modified and special interest 
Corvairs and not on the bread and butter stock 110s as delivered from 
the factory.

I have never raced 95 3 speed against a 95 PG to know the difference 
here. I do drive a 95 PG with A/C, and it easily looses to a 110 of any 
transmission. But, I don't "sweat" it... ggg
