OK - off topic.

Putting a few hundred more pounds of cast iron in the front of a mid 64's car did nothing but make the thing a straight line hog. Try going around a corner - it's like driving a bus. My friend at the time had a 68 Camero SS (sorry to mention that name in a thread refering to Ford's) and yes, it would blow the doors off in a straight line. It could not catch me on a twisty course - even with power steering that thing wallowed like a Buffalo in corners.

Give me a smaller machine that can handle itself in the corners and I will let you win on the straights. But in the corner's --- those are my flashing headlights --- park it. Oh and I do not drive trucks either (the real name for SUV)
