Hey, I don't know the reason why, I just know that what happened happened.
I am not saying it is an 8v vs 16v thang, could even be the way I drove or
the fact that I had no cat or resonator, I don't know but I do know that the
people who liked the Dynocraps were driving 8vs.  No offense man, I have
three 8vs and one 16v so I am not on anyone's side.

P.S.  It's your name isn't it?
