Well pretty much I narrowed my search down to one car. Semed to be the only one that I could just buy and beat the crap out of without reworking it.

Well one thing for sure it handles like a dream.

Now that things I found a bit odd but I guess thats just how the cars are.

For starters there isn't any power assist for the brakes. I had to push them hard as hell to get them working. Or at least much harder then I am used to. I'm just wondering if this can be changed somehow. Oh by the way the brakes are HUGE!!! Porsche 930 I think he said.

Also the clutch pedal felt kinda hard and had to be pushed way far. Thinking a hydralic clutch might work better. Any way to change this???

And finaly the shifting felt more like a suggestion then a definite command. I was very careful shifting because I thought it was gonna miss. It has a wevo shifter.


It was cool to drive though. Sounded like a muscle car and to have it right behind your head made you feel powerful. I don't think it's as fast as my civic which is unfortunate, but it more then makes up for it in handling.
