Yeah -- I could have saved a few emails with the edit button...
Todd -- This thread could go on forever.... and I keep trying to return to the original post -- which was "is there PT cars in the 9's"?
You pointed out yourself - that the WHOLE POINT of a PT car - is -- good handling - high hp - quick - A/C - Stereo - drive without issues.... go to dinner with the girls
This thread turned into 8 second - 200 mph race car discussion....
So the real answer is NO you can't (or can't at this particular time) run legit 9's or 8's - and do corners too.... and go to dinner or drive in the Vegas heat in the summer... with the SAME SET UP - TIRES/WHEELS/EXHAUST.... hit the key back out of the driveway and get groceries and stop at the Auto X on the way home... and win a trophy at the local car show... and beat the snot out of that full race nitrous caged Vega....
Now - where's my cup of coffee? Oh yeah -- a PT car has to have cup holders too!!
