... down. For the outside viewer the V8 was the best. As an owner, I hardly got to enjoy it. So much power. Wow. 3 gear 80 mph was hardly pushing the motor. And the engine management only feeds through full power in top gears! So every time I pulled away I was left frustrated that there was so much power left to play with that never got used. Servicing is certainly something I would leave to a dealer. That is not that I rate the dealers particularly, but just that even changing the plugs involves removing protective wate...more
