they made an S8. 360hp 4.2L



If you say you walked him, he either didnt try or didnt notice you were racing.

scratch that, i thought it was sub 14 sec fast. C&D says 14.4 at 99, sounds like it pays the price for being porky.

I think he thought you were to the sight of his awesomely fast car. He was just telling you to let go of it.
