Why people try to make slow cars quick is beyond me.  It is just not a good idea.

Depends on the car, but I agree. If youre not going to spend the money making the rest of the car capable and safe to handle the road at high speeds then dont bother!

Why on Earth you would do that anyway when funneling the money saved into a completely better all round car in the first place is a wiser idea, I dont know.

I dunno, but being in one of Andys novas brings a smile to your face, when your not touching cloth and trying to grab something to hold on to whilst your face is getting ripped off backwards.

i prefer a more substantial car than a tin can with loads of power, when you crash it.. and you probably will itll just fold in half.
