I understand too... but goddamn people aren't gonna listen or open their minds to understand... so why bother? I'm willing to bet a vast majority of the 'future' swappers have NEVER driven a lightweight 200whp+ car... so they can say 'mild' all they want. There's nothing mild about 195-225 hp in a 2500 pounds car. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
