Message	I have a custom Silvertwin short shifter with copper bushings. Doesn't get more precise than that. About 2 weeks ago my supervisor told me to take one of the mechanics race prepped 911 SC's out for a spin and that it was "VERY fast". He sees me a bit later and asks how I liked it, all the while having this shit eating grin on his face. I looked him straight in the eye and said "It was like driving a lowered dump truck. My 3000 something pound normally aspirated 300ZX feels faster." Needless to say, he still doesn't know why I'm not impressed with any Porsche under 2005. On a side note, they have an RS4 that's about to go up for sale. That is my FAVORITE car in the shop. It is fucking unreal. "S" button on, traction control off, and voila - instant race car. For someone with money, it would make a phenomenal daily driver. 'Wow' doesnt even begin to describe it. The key to winning is knowing how to play the game. I am diabolically clever and can piss further than you can think...I always win.
