[V8Vairs] New Car & Questions

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

The bricks were there in  the trunk to try to even out the weight 
distribution.  It only made a 4% change when calculated, so I pulled them 
out first thing when I got the car home.  It is more reasonable to drive 
in my opinion now.
Car had the radiator up front at one point, but was moved to in front of 
the engine.
