You need to head to Barnes and Nobles...
There is a magazine with a cover article right down your alley. IIRC, the title is called "Classic Cars" and it's a British car mag - the cover story is Cars from 1984! The cars they test are: Ferrari 288 GTO Toyota MR2 Peugeot 205 Buick Grand National And I am forgetting one. You need this... I know you do... |

AMC did the same thing... Theirs came from Porsche... good motor, not very powerful, but also expensive as hell to rebuild!
