It was hilarious. The premise was "how to make your car faster without spending money." They started off with the basic stuff like taking out the spare and the back seats, and then they just went nuts with the sawzall and removed everything not required to make the car move. So awesome :rofl:

Dave Coleman is the man. His articles were always funny, and he has a major noodle on him. I remember he found a term relating to front suspension/steering mechanics that had no name (it was the point at which the line created by the steering pivot points intersects the ground, if I remember correctly), so it was known to science and engineerdom from that day forth as "the Dave point." :rofl: I remember he quit the magazine when he got hired by Mazdaspeed, and he was one of the minds behind the speed3.
