Well it does have a V8.... but Roy wouldn't undestand the OHC set up.

Last chevy I had was a Biskane Wagon and it was a heap of shit, it was in
direct competition with a Jaguar 420G that I had at the same time, the Jaguar
out performed it in every catagory apart from the amount of rubish it would
carry! It used twice the fuel the Jag used it's top speed was 30mph lower than
the jag and the jag would pass it from a standing start and then out stop it, 4
wheel disks against drums. The jag was slightly heavier but had 4 wheel
independant suspention so it would easily out corner the chev. but the chev was
a load carrier and considerably larger so wide we caused a debacle in a car
park here one day, got in no trouble but the exit wasn't wide enought, the girl
in the booth said we could back out and go out the entry but the 6 cars behind
us wern't too happy about that! All the jags electric windows worked but the
Biskanes kept getting stuck down, the Jag had 400watts worth of headlights the
Biscane had two candles! And to add final insult the Chevy was bought to pull a
23ft caravan, that the jag towed easier.

American cars a heap of shit, from my experience.

And the latest offering from Crysler over here is styled after a twenty five
year old English car (Bently Mulsane), so much so I mistook one for the other
recently.
