yah ellipsis's can mean different things in different kinds of conversations. depending on the conversation, they can be a tad bit annoying. im sorry.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA shit i fell off my chair with laughter when I read this thread. Last time I checked only thing that would give you a faster entry into a corner would be stepping on the throttle more?

I think our cars are doomed to have poor handling, the wheel base just isn't wide enough.

I wouldn't say they do nothing. Although you'll never go fast enough to have any benefit from them.

I like the look of them, but they wont be functional on our cars. Maybe on a 600hp NSX. Yes, but the CL. NO.
