    No! You must wait for the books to be opened again to be "made" into the 2.3 mafia. Someday, we might ask for a favotr, and if you respond in kind we can talk ;) 4.6 does not equal having two 2.3 either unless you unplug 4 coils.

    Although cool in it's own right, TT Cobra still won't cut it. 2.3 cars are forced upon their owners and become a curse we all must bear. To understand, you have to live it first, then you will get it :D :D :D

    there is this little smirk we all get when we drive one for the first time, then we KNOW you are sucked in. I've seen the look several times, and there just inst much cure beyond more boost :D

    Damn you to hell. I'm going to be in your shadows forever, Bob. Or at least until the back half of the track (although maybe not anymore, you've got some witchcraft under that hood these days)

    You are a dilema for us ;) The only guys as cheap as the Turbo Ford crowd is the turbo Dodge crowd. (not an insult, actualyl a badge of honor). If you where a 2.2 Turbo I or Turbo II guy you would be in by default :D Not sure what to make of the skittles. What you do have going for you is running high boost like us.
