I mean how many people here would actually even have the skills to pilot their car fast enough and smooth enough too really take advantage of the difference? Just go drive your car and let the guys with more money than brains buy what they want.

I am really curious on what type of car do you own? I owned my 1967 RS Camaro since 1983. Have you ever driven a muscle car with 4 wheel drum brakes? I can tell you that stopping the car was an experience. I never really liked how it handled either, but it was great at the drag strip. I have already driven my Camaro to the edge, when the handling was very scary.
Actually, last month on a trip to Germany for work. Well, I admit that someone with a red 1969 Camaro from Lateral-g.net encouraged me to test on how fast a rental car could go on the autobahn. I took the rental car up to 200 km/h, which is about 120 mph on the autobahn. I was just out of motor, and those pesky rich people in their Mercedes Benz/BMW's or Porsche would blink their lights or honk their horn at you. So you would have to get over in the middle lane. Now, if I had my 1967 Camaro finished and it was over in Germany. I wonder on who would be getting over in the middle lane?
So, when you have a need for speed!! Gotta have a custom front sub, Quadra-link, twin turbo, baer brakes, 3 piece wheels, recaro seats (Gotta be comfortable!!!)
The main reason for my project is to have a 67 Camaro that handles, brakes, and has some of the nice comforts of new cars. Another cool thing is now I have the money to create the Camaro that I always wanted.
