There's that mortal boner ag'in.
This topic never fails to bring out the good stuff. 650 HP Vettes Ken? Zo6 Vettes? Cobras? We tread hallowed groun' fellow Stewians.
Speak such names with awe n' reverence.
N' once again, it all comes under the headin' of different strokes.
Me? I learned a long time ago that everythin' that excells at one aspect, doesn't necessarily excell at others. The ol' term "universal" usually fits, r' does, everything universally boringly.
Sure, Stewie can be turned into more than what it is, but taken too far it's gonna lose its current identity n' become somethin' else that don't do Stewie-type stuff as well as a relatively stock Stewie.
Jus' check out that Supra powered, Getrag-transed unit that was for sale on the site recently. A truly beautiful job to be sure, but do you honestly think that you couldn't blow by 'im in a heartbeat when the road gets twisty with a stone-stock unit?
But, that's different strokes for ya.
But, I say again: to wanna change that with which you are not even mildly familiar with . . well, I'll be polite n' say it's patently unwise.
Aaay! Maybe I get kx2's point: messin' with somethin' as together as Stewie would be a mortal boner!
Be well.
