I look forward to trying the 164LS sport mode automatic on the auto-x
course.
The extra 29 horsepower and better gearing (that's a seat of the pants
judegement) should make should make it come off the line faster than the
164L.

Bringing it to Eureka Springs this fall?  Pat and I are already arguing
over which car to take, the 164L or the GTV6.  If we take the GTV-6, I'm
going to auto-x for the first time.  Pat wants to show off her car, of
course <g>.
