GM Engine? you mean the LandRover right?

Must... Join... Army... 13 19 01...
Now that's something I'm proud to sink my tax dollars into! Always wanted to blow plenty of loot on a blown P6! Is there any other details that aren't classified that can be talked about- suspension, interior etc? Will they do the suicide back doors?
