scot,
i had a 7 cylinder cobra for a few days when those irritating equal length
headers burned through a spark plug wire boot. funny thing was, except for
the sound, it was hard to tell.
im pretty sure there are any number of permanent 7 cylinder camaros and
corvettes running around. well, maybe some of them are 7.5 cylinders. we
had a 5.5 cylinder chevy malibu for a while. =)

a lot when I first got licensed, and two ATC's). BTW, I've operated almost
every number of cylinders between 1 and 8 (among the cars, there was one
Chevy Sprint and a 5-cyl Audi)! Anyone know where I can find something with
a 7-cylinder engine? ;)
