I completely agree... It's a clean car, just needs more in the way of rubber.

Need 17's at least. A Turbo wouldn't hurt either.

I don't like that kit... It makes it look droopy, and it looses it's definitive shape.

I was gonna get that set-up, but I heard it was very hard to tune.

Not as bad if you get the airflow meter and make sure they are both pulling the same amount of air. There are a few guys running inline 6 with individual webers on their 240s around here. They say it is a pain in the rear to set up, but when you get it running, it definatly shows.

Of course, the one guy is constantly working on getting his to idle right, but I think that is due to him being slightly crazy.

Looks all buggered to me. I'd rather have the 84 GSL I got on ebay for $1,545. $7,000 is a lot to pay for a car that's half plastic, looks like it came out of a cereal box and has a questionable history. But hey, easy come, easy go.
