Message	Vishnu likes putting on super-expensive R-compound tires for shootouts. See the STi vs. tuner WRX shootout for details. Of COURSE a car will outbrake, outhandle and outaccelerate if it has R-compound tires. IMHO, that whole shootout was unfair. They should have run a standardized tire (which would have shown which CAR was superior, not which TIRE was superior). "So I nailed it, took off like an F18 from carrier. Of course the chase begained." -Tim_N/A 04/07/03 "You're right, oil filtration is not important. From now on, I'm using a balled up sock in a soup can." -Spee 05/09/03
