Tom,
That's what I was thinking when I read that he'd gotten the 'Cuda. I was
surprised.
Personally, the auto tranny might make me _less_ likely to steal the 'Cuda.
A 440 with a stick would be fun!
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a 440 is fun with an auto too, but there's
something about popping the clutch with gobs of horsepower behind it ;)
Of course, I'm sure a 426 is even more fun! :-)
