Good discussion topic.

seperate question... If you were on a budget, what would be the most important to you? What area would you concentrate on first?

Personally, I have a hard time with this. I want a bit of everything, but can never afford it. rolleyes.gif I guess I'd have to say 1/4 mile action.

Something tells me that everyone who voted for "a little bit of everything" mainly were thinking of quarter mile and turning capabilities together. When you really tweak your car to decimate in the corners, you start to add more horsepower to see how much faster you can take the turns. Low and behold, it is now fast enough to just stick it in the straight for a quarter mile and see what you get.

Unfortunately, it is the one trait that gets the most attention in the "street racer" syndicate, made up of fox bodies and other big v-8s that have a little harder time to turn. Granted, I do recognize that newer f-bodies and mustangs do have some better suspension work, but the ole 60s and 70s muscle cars only do one thing well. I also agree with Kazz, money put into making horsepowah! is typically cheaper to do than a fully adjustable suspension.

Just my .02
