Either way, when the weather cools down, my SVX should be solidly in the upper 14's.

944 turbo! ("technically" it has four seats ) you could have a frickin' monster for less than $30k!

i still say you should put the LGT back on your list. it keeps impressing me. a few days ago, a truck in front of me hit a construction cone that was on the centerline of the road, and sent it hurling back at me. with a small flick of the wrist, i swerved right to avoid it, and then left to avoid the next one in the center. this was at 60mph - i amazed myself with my smooth-ass manuevering.

the brakes are great - almost STi size front rotors and the vented rears are only .1" smaller that the WRX FRONT rotors. i will need new pads - stock ones are too dusty, and some SS brake lines (used to them from the SVX) for a little better feel. as far as suspension, i don't want to go too nuts because i don't want to rattle my teeth out, but something will be needed if i go stage 2 - for the safety of myself and others. at minimum some swaybars, and springs that will keep stock ride height.
