The truth is, I LOVE IT!!
I was quite surprised that I got about the same highway mpg with the V8, 26.4. I haven't had it long enough to check city mpg yet.

With the 320, you put your right foot to the floor and you get decent acceleration. With the V8, you get a rocket ship!

Only problem is that after I got it home, the soft top would not raise. I'm having my mechanic look at it this afternoon.

BTW EVERYONE:
I have a white hardtop available for an R129 with a gray headliner available!
