and for the leg humpers she wasn't hot.

because I don't care about getting "boards" involved when someone attacks my car. My car which happens to be running very slow right now since the IMRC is dead i.e. no switching to the secondaries.
Although the question was answered, take it from me. This car is not beating an ITR or an S2000. It has enough power to get out of its own way and a good enough suspension to hug some fun roads, but its nothing spectacular.
And yes, I do drive an SVT Focus

I'm sure this guys Focus is fun to drive around corners at high speed, but that doesn't make it a really strong performer.
Everyone thinks thier ride is good in some way or another and until they drive a car with way better performance they sort of stay in this little world where it seems to be true.

Hummers? I don't know...
At the last minute I was told to drive an LMTV (below) instead. They REALLY suck in the cornering department, but on the plus side they have a HUGE amount of turbo deisel torque. And even though it's an 7 speed auto it's still fun to hear all that boost spooling under the cab. When you're really bored in the desert that is... and when I'm extremely bored sometime I rev the engine up then hit the air brake to simulate a bov.
