I agree that there are ways, but they just aren't in reach with my  
pocketbook at the moment. I had hoped that the nitrous solution would  
materialize, but it is kind of limited in its application.

But, I am still happy with its performance as is, but more would be  
better, eh? :-) I do know one thing; we spent a day at the 2.5 mile  
racetrack at Pacific Raceways near Seattle this summer, and it was a  
total gas. The Sportline suspension is extremely balanced - can't  
wait to do it again.

Regards,
