After hearing Mr Zois' new car, watching Rich build the alien, seeing the new guy with the white conversion (I cant believe I am going to say this) I have really been drawn to a V8 conversion. I know the sound quality wasn't great, but I did not expect the purple car to sound that smooth and, quite frankly, pissed off. The Martini car has a nicely built 4 banger in it - it runs strong. As you all have seen in my posts, I have tried so hard to make it "right" - (I have even recently been shopping around - thinking of replacing my new Renegade seats with Konig or Scheel) - but it is still a 4 banger. If I were to do an install that was in keeping with how clean the car is currently, would it make it any less of a car?

Man, I am really digging these V8 cars.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
