I thought it was a V8 thing to tell you the truth. My first Dak (88 4 cyl)
turned pretty good. Never complained. Got the Shelby and I can barely whip
it in the drive-way, go figure. That's why I got to get about a 30 mph
start whip the wheel hard left to make the ass end come around to get me
pointed in the right direction.
