Been in those V-8's Les. They can just be down right bad *** as anything I have ever driven. I real handful with that little wheel base. But you have to love it. As far as low end goes, I think the blue coupe has the right amount of oh **** factor, it's the top end of the quarter I would enjoy the V-8. I will live with what I have....pretty happy right now and the last mod will even make me happier......happy happy happy
