    from the testing I have done, the GP with a Gurney flap on it is all you need. Remember you are still front wheel drive. You want front end bite with the rear stable to loose so you can transition quickly. I see these big rear wings on FWD cars without giant front splitters on them and it's just counter productive

    Dave's MINI could use the extra rubber, that's a no brainier. I wonder what would become a weak link with all that traction?

    Gee...talk about a generation gap. I always associated the jingle with HEINZ Ketchup and its slooooooooooooow pour...kinda like the slowness in the marketing of this great item.:devil:

    Umm, not sure what Gap is there Jeff. The song came out only a year or 3 before it became a commercial too.

    Carly Simon wrote that song while waiting for her date, Cat Stevens, to arrive.
