Surprisingly, I had two friends who owned these. One still had his
when I knew him. The car certainly should have been relatively peppy.
They said so, but they had mostly been around 4 cyl stuff.

Just don't get too carried away with the idea its a V8 and remember
its only 2.5L, There are frictional issues with a V8 that small,
which, traditionally, is the upper edge of 4 cyl size and lower edge
of 6 cyl size.
