[DeTomaso] Another Hagerty plug

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Very cool Chris.  I see something in here of possible interest to many.  
An increase of 50 hp or less over stock, should not increase your 
rates.  That's pretty cool for most folks who just want to add a little 
bit.  I'm wondering why they gave you an exception for the stroker, as 
my initial reaction would be, holy cow... that's gotta be more than just 
50 hp.  I guess the caveat in there is that if they pay out for any 
engine damage (like in an accident), they may only reimburse you for the 
price of stock components, not stroker components.  But I guess we never 
know... and let's hope we -never- have to find out.

:)
Keep the shiny side up and the rubber on the road.
