Rode in Renntech Coupe Today

Went to the dealership in Calabasas today and guess what was there? Yep. The Renntech C-Coupe, SLK, CL, and New SL (very nice). The SL is gorgeous, i even got to sit in it. The coupe was there too. You guys know the specs. The guy there took me out for a drive. That car is fast. And the brakes are really good. He showed me a lttle emergency breaking procedure. On the dime baby. The rear spoiler is a must. It just completes the look of the car. Sorry if this message is little hard to follow, i'm kind of excited about the whole thing.

Sweet.. How long are they going to have the Renntech's at Calabasas ? If they are still there tomorrow I will have to go take a look. I'm about 15 miles west of them.

BTW, do you know that the rear spoiler slows the car down? It does its job by creating certain downforce at speed at the expense of the drag coefficient... So, again, it's a trade-off between looks and performance...
