I had one of those. It is a sedan, which isn't neccessarily what Sarc had in mind. Torque was incredible. But any M100 motor is expensive, and the suspension was complex and expensive. Great car, and they're cheap now. $10000 would buy you a SUPER nice example that has a new suspension, water pump, and nice cosmetics.
My Euro-spec 6.9 turned 14.6 secs @ 101 mph hazing the tires to the 1/8 mile mark. The 3 speed automatic would DOWNSHIFT if you booted it at 95 mph. Cruised effortlessly at 130mph.
