The other thing I have heard nothing about is brakes. If you are talking drags, no reason to upgrade. But what helps me out most in the twisties is larger tires, upgraded brakes, and the 6 speed we all love so much. And let me tell you, I would rather have a brake upgrade than 5 or 10 hp any day of the week.....
I really don't like to get into these who's faster talks. I will just say this, other than when I took John for a ride, I haven't pushed mine that hard for sometime now. As an old racer, I only run as hard as it takes to stay ahead. No reason to run any faster. A modded SRT ( brakes/motor) will outrun any NA in the twisties and the straights...period. I like all the friends I have made at the Dragon and there is no need to put any of them into a dangerous situation trying to out run me or anyone. BigKid, Tom, I trust to run with me, because I have seen their driving style. There are others, who tend to cross that yellow line, which isn't safe, so I don't play. I was playing with a modded yellow C5 vette, eating his tail until he had to cut corners, crossing the yellow line, trying to shake me...which he did, I quit...no need to get someone hurt to prove a point...Johnny, you are the only one who ever witnessed me all out, and I haven't done it again down there since that day...I just play and have fun with it...Tom got a small show, but not all out...we need a track for that...buy the SRT, you won't be disappointed...now my NA friends...your cars are just fine, and I miss driving a stick as well...so don't take what I said wrong...I like your cars too.....just do this stuff safely...pick your area well....I'm done...lol
