That's right, I've removed the lump in the engine bay. Thought you purest would smile.

I'm really not dead set on what's going back in the bay, but it most likly will not be american.

The combo I had was just a little to bruttal for the area I live so I rarely ever *enjoyed* driving it.

So I'm thinking something with a snail, to have a dr. jakel / mr. hyde type car. After driving my Turbo legacy, I see the beauty of small engines and forced induction...

Something with triangle is a possibility but it's most likly going to be another boinger.

I'm a rotor head, and a honda nut. I've allways thought the new k series would trip people out. Good stout engine too. with basic bolt ons and a jackson charger at 5psi a k20 can make near 350 to the wheels.

I have no problem with piston engines as long as they are not faster than me

Why did you not enjoy driving the car?
