You are right about the chip. Maybe I am fighting an uphill battle, but nothing reoplaces the look on people's faces when we get to the top. Round peg or not, having 4000lbs on your *** can be intimidating and doesn't happen often to the P-Car folks.

All I've ever tried to prove is that a fat pig can indeed dance, That's it. I post almost every run I get into. I've never held back and only shown ones that I win. Is it my fault that my car practically owns Palomar?
I'm actually happy for you that you can make the thing dance, but to me handling is about a lot more than the pace at which you can take a turn. Its steering feel and turn-in. I'm not trying to take anything away from your run dude.

I'm with you Bro! I get the same response every time I demolish a bike. Perhaps the P-car is a much better handling car. Most would probably agree that it is. Your point is well taken. Assuming the P-car is so awesome, Jangy's run up the twisties with this type of awesome handling car proves that the E55 is no slouch, driver notwithstanding. Deal with it!
