oh, jeez.

We've been through this before . . . ol Shel' not supporting anything that
was a threat.  This is probably true.  As are the reason's noted below.

I can't address the politics, but do know the physics . . .  and as you
remember - the small block Cobras won everything . . .until the 396 vette
got sorted out (there's that big wt. difference again!)

In today's market, the Tigers $/fun or performance ratio is way up there and
that's why I drive one.

happy motoring!
