Re: Rollerskate car handling

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

Raced a Camry in the twisties with my 8v Rust Roc, smoked him like nothing,
I don't know what this guy was thinking, his tires were almost entirely out
of the fenders!....I don't know what kind of suspension this was, but it
didn't keep me from smoking him with the 83' rusty....
