And hey, even though we might get SVO's, not guarenteed to make us (or me, at least) great drivers, I just might be throwing $5K away on a car that won't improve my driving at all. Which would suck...

I consider the GTS to be one of the most desirable SN-95's ever. To have one, and still have the inferior car in the group is what I meant about being born under a bad sign, i.e., ain't that just my luck?

And the driver skill will come with seat time. I'm winning out there sure. But I also had about 5 years of actual competetion driving under my belt, and almost 8 of high performance driving. It's all relative.

True, it's just about the only really desirable one's, except for maybe the Indy Pace Car Cobra. I didn't realize you had so much racing time, though. I knew you had some, but I didn't realize it was that much.

I have a couple books on driving if you want to borrow 'em. One deals specifically with auto-x, and the other is road racing in general. Both you and white are welcome to read them. Just don't read all the passages I've highlighted. That's where the secrets lie

Cool. I'm kind of distrusting of nitrus. I knew a kid last year at my school who had a '98 Cobra and blew up TWO engines using the stuff. He spent more time driving it to and from the shop than anything else. Also, I have a friend who's about to become a pro drag racer and a master mechanic down here tell me not to use the stuff. But then again, he also told me not to get an SVO, because of so much stress on 4 cylinders. Oh well.

It's my understanding that the intakes on the mod motors don't like wet-kits. Are you using that new fandangled Nos-sle kit?

Anyway, I gotta go to bed, y'all. Just 17 day's left of waking up early for military school! Woo-hoo! I just realized we haven't had promotions this semester...I hoped I would get lieutinant. D'oh! Graduating as a chief master sergeant, then. Good enough for me! Sorry, ranting. Good night, y'all.
