OK Guys and Dolls,
     This "preformance thread" is already old. Most of
us over 45 years of age and still shifting gears at
peak revs will remember when we were a "little"
younger. We did the same things to our cars that are
done to the Fantastic New Breed of cars "relitave" to
the time these mods were done. 
     The new cars are so advanced in their motor,
suspension and on board systems managment it boggles
the imagination. The young HI REV kids are having
exactly the same fun today that we had 30 years
ago..they have different machines to work with..they
do it differently. We could only dream of bolting on
200 hp in an afternoon..they can do it!
