Yeah, puts a whole new meaning on up the gazzoo.

In China, nothing is secret, everywhere you go you are watched, weighed and measured if you are a foreigner and screw up and make eye contact, you're dead meat. These gals will pounce on ya big time and eat you alive, er, humm, an o'course other things too. Yep, life is wonderful in China. but y'all gotta play the game as in being the MFIC, with lot's of power, have large brass ballz, a big swingin' stick, cuss a lot, walk with a swagger, have an attitude bigger than a bus, drink a lot, like em' hot, have nerves of steel and don't take S*** from anyone, anywhere, at any time. Oh, and one more, gotta be a bloody good negotiator.

But I digress, so how much power is gonna ring your chimes and what type of tranny will you use to drive that beast?

Well, OK. It might not be what you want to hear, but as you rightly point out, I can be / have been / will be influenced by wisdom.
I've seen somewhere on this forum a line that goes...if it matters what gear you're in, you don't have enough power. My thinking is that that is OK if you're driving your daddy's Galaxie but in a Cobra, it should have a nice lil' ole Toploader that you've just got to play with. So...I like something that doesn't necessarily have to be highly tuned, but at the same time just loves revs. So 'spose what I'm saying it's not the amount of bragging rights HP you have under the bonnet/hood, it's how you use it and how much fun you have with it that matters. Is that un-American? Hey I'm Australian!
Hmm, maybe I've said more than I intended to... so hit me with some wisdom, buddy!
Cheers!

It's whatever rings your chimes, nuff said.

Good Luck,
