[Shotimes] New engine for 92 MTX SHO

Sat, 1 Feb 2003 16:28:06 -0500

Yep, and the comment about if we "came into a lot of money" we wouldn't be
messing with SHOs, anyway (as I first mentioned in the 1989 AutoWeek
AutoFile regarding the SHO).

yeah and all that's a waste of money. If you want to spend 5x the cost
of your car on the motor alone (which is already going to outlast the
car itself anyway), go ahead. I don't think Jasper is the "only" good
choice out there; I think its one of the most expensive.
