Oh, and now that I'm in the process of getting my SRT4 I'm also finding other cars I like...I'm a sucker for a nice Taurus SHO...

YES UBG!!!! I love the intake setup on them, makes my head spin thinking of how to work on that. Seen one a few years back, dark green, stick, and guy wanted 3500, but I'm sure it was whooped and had it's fair share of problems.

I'm not going to start a fire here, but V8's aren't everything. I understand this is a Camaro/Fire Bird/ Corvette/ Murica, **** Yeah site, but that doesn't mean it has to be V8 or no way does it fly here. As you already know, I do enjoy road racing, and what would be more awesome then a 4 cylinder engine that was designed to produce 180hp stock in 1969?? ( although, due to emissions, it was reduced to 110HP when it came out) Rev around 6500 RPM, but can be built to withstand 8500 RPM with a few changes, and if built right, can support 240-260hp.....mind you, this is America's first DOHC engine, first electronic fuel injection, and was all aluminum. It's a Honda crusher engine from the states, AND is old school.
Then take an Opel GT, weighing less then 2100lbs. stock, and you have the recipe for a underdog road racing car, that can take on some of the best out there. Not quirky, intriguing. Same thing with an 88 Fiero GT, the suspension upgrade for that year made a night and day difference in handling.
