The simple fact to me is that I have what looks like any ordinary extremely safe family car, but it runs like crazy when I need (like) it. It doesn't take a lot of fuel, and no, it doesn't eat tires like crazy (if You drive carefully most of the time). I certainly do keep track on money matters... AND what ever You say about the possibility of 300hp the difference is substantial from the power I had to start with. One problem though, if ther's moisture on the road I can't get the wheels to grip so that's a "problem". But I tell You my friends, If You wouldn't, couldn't or don't dare to feel the tremendeous joy it gives when You accelerate from say 70 km/h up to what ever on the high way, well then I'd guess You truelly deserve Your old Cutlass or what have You... ;-)) This IS the right car to have 300Hp....... So again, what did really happen with my car? My imagination??!! What would it take to convince all You weak in faith that the force is with me?
