Subject:      Re: Jackin' Up The Van

You can practically pick up a 911, in fact the engine is about half the mass of the car. A
Vanagon Westy more than twice the wieght of a 911, with (more or less) the same type of
engine/tranny mount. 1600lbs. on a bulletproof 7R is different from 4500 on a finicky WBX.
