I just got home from being awarded the year end trophy for CSP tonight.  You
may have seen my dad's post earlier today about that.  What kind of cars did
I beat?
There were 21 cars including a Miata, RX7, CRX, MR2,  Fiero,  BMW M3, and
another Datsun roadster.  What have I done to the car to make it so fast?
It has the stock solex package and limited slip.  It has a 23mm swaybar, KYB
white shocks,  and 7" wheels with 205/55/14 Kumho tires.  Except for the
tires (which all the other CSP cars used) I would say there are many SRL's
on the road in similar tune.  Yes, a roadster can beat newer cars.
