    Great stuff. Excellence has the entire article posted online for now. You can find it here: http://www.excellence-mag.com/art1/art1p1.php

    I agree with Dave's findings. A 2.2S with a short gearbox is a joy that suprises people with how quick it is, but a 2.8SS is a beast that is in another league alltogether.

    I wasn't really sure where Dave was going with this article when we were doing the drive. But it's a really entertaining read. Nice job Dave!

    BTW: I think it's John Trueman, not Fred Truman, who was Stoddard's engine builder back in the 70's. I wonder if he envisioned a couple of his motors doing a 3500 mile trip and a track day some 30 years after he screwed them together

    It was a great article. I read it three times.

    How about the article on Ferdinand Piech and all the boys that are about to send Porsche into the cellar? When I read this article, I thought that these three guys must have attended the Wall Street school of business.

    I can't wait to see the outcome.
