Now that's funny. Are you saying the Jad's car is an "ugly duckling?" And yes, until I have a higher HP car and can possibly chase you down myself, I'll enjoy the comaraderie of front-engine, water cooled Porsche drivers where ever they ... dominate.

Sometimes a car with more horsepower, better brakes, better suspension and wider tires is faster than a car that is 15 years older with way less horsepower, worse brakes, worse suspension, and thinner tires. Take a while, think about that. I know this turns everything in our lives upside down. But just for a moment, consider the possibility.
Thanks, Curt. You're comments are all correct. Ironic. For years I got
slammed when I complained about the HP, and weight issues between lighter, more powerful/higher HP 911's and heavier, less HP N/A 944's. I was always told "it's not about the HP, it's about the driver." Now... I wonder.... who keeps mentioning "HP advantage?"
Remember, even with Jad's mod's, his 944 weighs a bit more than your stripped down 911. Now, I'll let you "consider the possibilites."
Okay, Kary's right. I high-jacked the thread. I'm busted. Sorry Denise, and happless readers.
Let's all have fun at the DE! Thanks for the generous offer, CDI's!
