Yes.And I watched him spin out behind me. It's all about the driver I
guess.. Don't know who it was. I wasn't racing him but he did try to catch
me in going through the redwoods in Northern Ca. It was actually scary. But
the car loved it.

I'm too old and sensible to do any street racing anymore.

Some pretty scary rice burners out there. They weigh nothing and these kids
are building them into mini monsters. No doubt the age of American
automotive superiority is long gone.

My first car was a 65 Mustang hand me down. My father bought it new in late
64 for $2495. I loved that car. But no mustang anywhere is anything like an
NSX. Different breeds. The new Mustangs sound awesome and are very powerful.
But crude in comparison.

Not meant to be contrary or argumentative. Just my take on it.
