I apparently can't tell a Cobra from a Sunbeam Tiger. :)

Anyway, I just can't see how a kit car where you literally pick and choose your components fits in such a strict category where people are searching for white elephant trim levels and option packages and spending hundreds and thousands of dollars over and over again because they can't bandage their car's weak points.

I actually prefer being "traction limited", it's something I think I do very well, and I enjoy it - plus it's considerably easier on almost all the hardware (as opposed to wider, stickier slicks).

335 r18's ..... where did you find them. Tire rack doesn't show them and I heard they were the only outlet for rivals.
