Where's the muscle?
I saw the cover of your Feb. 11 issue and went directly to the article about the Dodge Challenger SRT8. I had to read it twice to be sure I hadn't missed something. A slushbox, albeit a five-speed, but still a slushbox. The Ford Mustang offers a five-speed (by God, shift it yourself) gearbox, and there's a six-speed in the Shelby. I realize that there are some mighty fine autoboxes out there, but not having a manual gearbox or an option for one kind of takes the "muscle'' out of the muscle car.

Don't go there
Okay, this is driving me crazy (short trip, I admit). What is the car shown in the "Classic-Car Prep'' piece (Feb. 18)? And is there any chance of seeing a shot of the outside? I'll settle for just knowing what it is but would love to see an exterior view.

Editor's note: That is a picture of a BMW 328 Berlin-Rom Touring. And here's another shot of the BMW, as requested.
