Uh, OK. 

I'm not thinking of it because I'll get that 5 extra HP, I'm thinking
of something tasteful because it _will_ run faster; 1.8 10:1 motor
being freshened now, 2.0 liter on the way. Knock sensor, 4 disk
brakes, upgraded interior (split leatherette rear seat, fronts are S
gray stripes for now), H&R springs n' shocks, etc.  The idea isn't to
pose as something it's not but to identify it in an authoritative way.

Thx and peaceful blessings right back atcha',
