Thanks guys! And yes, I've put a lot of attention into handling and will continue to do so. I see no point in making the car go fast only in a straight line although I do respect the crowd who strives for such.

Oh yeah? My car will beat your low-down-, old-, towel-drying-winged-, crammed-for-space-, huge-rear-tire-, lots-o-chrome-, semi-luxurious-, dyno-queen-, gas-guzzling-, unnecessary-extra-two-cylindered-, turbo-the-size-of-a-watermellon-, (insert whatever else you can think of)- Supra any day. Just give me a say... a five second lead? :p

:lol: Nice, but from what I remember, as long as there is a corner, the WRX should have the advantage.

I was just giving the dude a hard time and the five-second lead was in reference to a quarter-mile drag, which I could sure use a good 5-second head start :). Or, I could throw a few of them JDM women that Rokkit is supposed to bring back for me :rolleyes: at him and make him go :drink: thus making me WIN!

Good gosh, I'm not making sense now am I?

Cheers.

Gerald.
