Well, with the $6000+ ive got into my Scirocco, its kinda nice to take it to 
the track and compare my car, VS a $70,000 Viper and beat it. Im absolutely 
posative that the guy driving the viper is either new to the world of autox, 
or hes really taking it easy. Either way, the end result said my $6,000  
77.294 Scirocco was faster than his $70,000  78.169. Viper : )

You sound kinda tense, Mike. For one, I dont think anybody is angry with you, 
or displeased with anything you have said. On the contrary, you have added to 
the list another topic of discussion which, I find quite welcome. Its just 
conversation!
