But sadly, not SW or anyone else called me on that :-).
It's been off the road sitting in the front yard for well over a year now.
Was still running OK but with peripheral issues, and time has seen it 
neglected.
Past due time to get it back on the road to terrorise the Evos and WRXs et 
al. Not to mention the Lambo's :-).

Truth be known, I've never got to drag race against a Lamboghini - and a 
modern one would certainly beat my now very old and tired one. If it ever 
gets back on the road I dream of giving it a new Supercharger pulley to up 
boost to 14 psi. The Supercharger is, of course, what let a 1600cc Japanese 
sporstcar, in its day, beat EVERY standard production car off the line - for 
somewhere under 2 seconds. The L's were fatally flawed :-).

When its going it still FEELS like one of the fastest roller skates around 
though :-).
