Re: SuperSprint (recurve on 16v)

["Aaron D. Patton" <apatton1@airmail.net>]

When I look at Michael's web site it says that the '86 has a 1.8 8V (with
245k) and the '81 is a recently adopted basket case (well maybe a little
less than basket case).  But nothing about 2.0 16V cars with butt-loads of
HP.  Am I missing something here?
