[Shotimes] (OT) Do I still love my SHO?

[Paul L Fisher]

Grassroots Motorsports just bought an Odyssey and they love it. Actually, in
the last issue, they put it head to head against a Porsche 356 and a Jaguar
XKE. It quite handily spanked the two exotics in handling.

They tested it 0-60 also and it was at 8.2 seconds. Not too bad for a brick
on wheels.

I would seriously consider one myself.
