We test drove a bunch of cars today, Porsches Carrera S and Boxster S, C6 Corvette Z51, and a used 03 viper SRT-10. I wanted to the viper but it was after we drove the Benz and she was hooked, the fact that the viper is one of the most unrefined cars I ever drove didnt help much, no power seats, no nothing on the inside crap for radio, BUT I loved the power wayyyyyy too much but the tranny shifts as good as a tractor and the wheel hop about made my teeth come loose. The porsches were crap, pure and simple, just a name to back it up and the vette was nice but they had none in black! :(

first name basis, thats funny! I would guess a methoal or snow injection kit along with a tune would put you solidly in the 11's. Nonetheless, I will bring a few more cubans back with me when I come home Oct 1st.
