I read this entire thread and J C. Folks, this isn't a race car and if you guys are racing it like one, you're just as clueless as the 16 year old next door in his rice burner. Drive the car for what it is and know that it is a fun ride that you can manipulate into anything you want. Put it up next to any other muscle car on the street and it will probably get blown away. Put your money into your wallets, so you can afford to pay cash and trash such objects when they do break and finally... fighting with people on the internet is like taking AOL away from a kid in a wheel-chair.
