[Shotimes] OT GTP's - was squeak in left side of dash

[John J. Weidenbenner]

I'd go to a larger displacement, 3.5 or larger for increased low end torque
and tuned like the '04 Acura TL 270 hp 3.2 L. Really, I would prefer a V8 -
pick your brand. Chevy LS1/LS6 or Cobra S/C 4.6 L. I just can't see the SHO
V8 for anything larger than a Focus. And northin smaller than a Taurus body
for a sedan Guess I should just buy a BMW 5 or 7 series and be done with it.
