This implies that the SCCA thinks.  They don't do that;).  Also, IMHO, the
Corrado is not that different from a GTI VR6 - ASP Corrado owners are
getting the shaft being in ASP, while the GTI/Jetta is in CSP.  If anyone
were campaigning(nationally) the Corrado in ASP, they'd have every right to
complain, but I guess that's why no one is running a Corrado in ASP
(competitively, on a national scale).  A Corrado, while a great car, cannot
keep up with the RX7 TT/Lotus Europa/Viper/P-car 911/all the other cool
cars in that class.  Shrug.  Made me think for a second, it sucked.

Yeah, and he corded all FOUR!!!  I've never corded 4 tires in one day.
Never corded a rear tire.  Not sure how he did it, but they're still going
strong - street tires, y'know;).
