[DeTomaso] Total Heresy- Ecoboost V6?

[Jerry Knotts]

Corey,

Just go test drive a Noble M400 or a Rossion.  It should give you an 
idea about the Ecoboost v6 in a sporty car.  Most had 3.0L but some had 
3.5s.  Some are 500+ hp and curb weight about 2400 lbs.

They have always looked like fun to me.

   Corey,
   Just go test drive a Noble M400 or a Rossion.  It should give you an
   idea about the Ecoboost v6 in a sporty car.  Most had 3.0L but some had
   3.5s.  Some are 500+ hp and curb weight about 2400 lbs.
   They have always looked like fun to me.
