    Too much work to do, not enough hours in the day. :-) Although,
speaking of new engine configurations; I was reading on some web site
yesterday that the next OHC engine to come out is supposed to be a
3.7l V6. I guess I can understand them wanting to stick with a
X.7l nomenclature, but that sort've rips off the 5.2 big time...
I mean, the 3.9 goes down .2l to a 3.7, 5.9 down .2l to 5.7, but the
5.2 goes all the way down to a 4.7 for a .5l loss??? Bummer. :-P

  (And how does this explain the 6.1l? Shouldn't they go to 6.7? :-)
