A few more things about my 'Lude'...
I bought it brand new for $26K in 1998...always wondered why the sticker was more than the magazine tested price? Someone above addressed that issue.
About 15 years ago I installed a 75hp Zex Nitrous system. I don't use the nitrous much lately...the refill for the tank has gone from $15 to $55.
But it sure is fun! The torque steer is magnified with the nitrous greatly.
