Yeah, you're right, good point.  I have to really rev my 8V in first to
get the Continental CV90 Sport Contacts to chirp in second.  
The CV90 are actually pretty good tires.  Anyone have any experience
with these?  Whatever you do, stay away from Kelly!  Oh, they suck!
They make you feel like you're driving in a bowl of Jello.  I bought a 
set of four, drove about 2 miles on a curvy road, turned right around,
and turned them in to get another set of CV90.  They're that bad!
