Wrecked Exhaust, Rental car woes...

[Kwattro@aol.com]

Howdy everyone, thanks for the sympathy on my deceased exhaust system.  Now
on with the countdown...

Wel, we are going with a single downpipe for cost and practicality reason, so
2.25 about an inch bigger than stock, and then a high flow cat, reminder 2.25
system with a dynomax SUPERflow (race inspired, you can see straight though
it) with a 4 inch tip.  Not too shabby.  The car has also been dropped a bit
while it was out of comission, with Tokico shocks and chopped GTI springs
added, for a 1.5 inch drop up front and what will be a 1.75 inch drop in the
rear.  
In the meantime, I have been driving a Chevy Corsica.  Several things bother
me about this car, mainly how fast it is (but only in a straight line...)  My
friend and I raced a Adnoh Prelude (old style...) and I backed off at 110,
where the car felt surprisingly stable.  And then tonight I hit my favorite
little run, 3/10ths of a mile stretch starting with a 90 degree turn, drop 40
feet then up 40 feet again.  About 1/2 way to my driveway (which is 3/10ths
from the start of the run.) I redline 3rd in the GTI, 82 mph.  Tonight, I hit
90 and backed off, in the Cor Sicker.  I keep telling myself  "It has a 3
liter V6, that's why..."  but it is not consolation.   I hate american cars.
