Is your car built for pure performance or balanced for comfort/luxury?

Amen to this, I have no inclinations whatsoever to roll around in a U PULL IT spec shell

always roll full metal jacket, spare, jack, little bag of tools and handful of pushrods in the glovebox

if you need to strip it out for fasts you ain't got enough grunt

make the power = shift the weight
