Which is why I'd get the 500bhp supercharged one, if you're going to the bother of an engine swap then it might as well be for a decent power figure. Actually, if I was going to do something like that I'd drop an LS1 in, I know someone with a 450bhp one knocking about. No time though :(

I quite liked the 2.5 V6 one I had, so it's possible.

Didn't handle, but the cupholders were ok.

But in normal driving rather than a track you dont or cant keep it on the boil. Gap in traffic? V8 gone, when you press the pedal. Any gear. Turbo? change gear, wait for boost, too late gap gone...

Hence why Vtec works in cars :) Granted, it might be

But that seldom happens in modern traffic.

Thats the best solution. In a corvette so you dont look a dick.

Or, see gap coming, change down...

TBH I'd say the corvette was a car for somebody compensating for their sexual worries - the MX5 might have a gay hairdresser image, but it also says you don't give a stuff about that.

Mine (meter) does miles per gallon but its still wrong. Its US gals...

With statements like that, you're the one that sounds "gay"!!!

Yeah but:

A warmed up 10.5 compression one in the sierra...

^^^^^^^^ - shouldn't that be Van=C9toile or something?!

Yep! That's the one I had in mind. With an auto box. They are big and comfy, great for eating up the miles. I have been told they can be run on 100% veg oil too, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Well, in Firefox there's an extension imaginatively called "Unwrap Text" which does what it says. It's quite nifty really - will even repair URLs which are split with message quotation markers. Maybe it'll slot in to Thunderbird too?

Firefox add-on:

It would appear that it is Firefox only, but a quick search turned up this for Thunderbird:
