I was headed down the beltline towards 28th st. and saw one, grey, 50-something gentleman piloting her. I gave him props as i passed by, and then quizzed him when we hit the stoplight. He said it was the real deal, one of 2000 made. grins nice... very understated car. I was impressed. The Mark #464 of 6535 A Few GS-ish mods

Huge improvement. todras, A.Van, definitely consider this mod. No offense intended with the 'over 50' remark. I know there are more than a few of you out there that can still row the gears better than I. And I tip my hat to you. The Mark #464 of 6535 A Few GS-ish mods

Smoother reving yes but if anything was going to happen to the engine it would have been done a long time ago.
