Yeah I'm talking about horsepower, torque, etc.. Not to mention the fact
that a V8 sounds a lot better running, I just love the sound of a dual
exhausted V8, if you can get that sound from a 4-banger, I might consider
it. The other good thing about a Dak is you set above everything, you can
see everything around you. In a Neon you are the one sitting below
everyone else, I'll take a Dak over a Neon anyday personally.
