Re: [DMCForum] V8? Should I dare?

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you actualyl KNOW this? Strange that Renault used the same gearbox on 
the Alpine A610 with a 450hp turbocharged engine... The only difference 
was a lower final drive (3.8:1 instead of 3.44:1). Which is easier - 
finding a final drive from a Lotus Esprit, Renault 25 or 30, or changint 
the entire transmission....?
