Greg,

You really stirred up a can o’worms with that one.

I think everybody is missing the point. It’s not about the tires or the 
stiff suspension. It’s all about the stickers, those little power adders 
most of us have stuck to our doors and fenders. I learned all about it 
road testing Paul’s SSC car. It gets more attention than the vette did 
back in the day.

It’s MADD TITE YO!
