There's nothing like the sound of an Olds v8, loved the power of the 2 I had. Gave lots of thought to actually getting a Cutlass Cruiser as a daily driver about 6 or 7 years ago. I know how to do most of the work on those beasts, but the mpgs would have been hard to take. Took the opposite tact and now own a 99 Jetta TDI. 1.9L displacement, 48 mpg, and with very little work, just as much torque as a v8. I love running stop light to stop light with ricers and trucks, and merging on the highway is a blast. Dual mass flywheel weight means slower shifting, so outright racing won't happen, but from anything above a slow crawl my sleeper surprises a lot of people.168k and still running strong too, just like an Olds Rocket with soot.
