had a guy pull beside me in a "heavily" modified 300 srt8 a couple weeks ago... he rolled down his window, told me that he had about 14k in the engine on his car and just wanted to see how bad i'd pull him... after a ton of wheel spin through first and halfway through second, i walked him like he was standing still. disclaimer: we were on a 65 mph road and the limit was never exceeded.

at the next light he said, "after you, sir" and motioned up the road.

its fast. no doubt about that.

Based on the amount of tax dollars used to prop up this company and the BS union running it, each US taxpayer should get some track time with one of these.

Couple things to do and I will!

I'll go ahead and predict the first response: "it needs to be lowered!"

There is only one company that makes springs for
