true he might have done that, i considered that possibilty to, but my father always mentioned how he enjoyed the Turbo kicking in and i am wondering how many turbo charged 8 cylinder engines there were back then? (maybe there were loads i cant remeber i was to young but i somehow cant imagine it). If the pre owner did that i must have been some Maserati engine or something in that category making our car a rocket and that i would have remembered. Anyway, i am going to frive past the place my father sold the car and i am going to trie to find out what motor was in the car. I am expecting to see the standard motor, actually i hope to see it cause i bet with my father for a bit of money that he did not have an 8 cylinder in the car. If it was something special i will let ya know :)
