I have to say all I've ever learned from video games is practice makes perfet... lol

Yea I know about lines and stuff but I'm talking about on a road making like a hard turn yet keeping speed. I prefere touge, I'm not one for tracks but then again I've never been on one. I touge'd with a 06+si 4dr the other night and somehow he couldn't shake me... it was kinda funny cuz he was taking the corners so wrong (I don't get why people trick out honda's for drag when theya re ment for curcuit ) . It was the first time I really pushed the car that hard and I was suprised it hadled so well with snows and with just a center brace, lol.

Learn to drive properly for a start. I highly suspect that people have been asking you to go to a track or autocross so that you wouldn't hurt yourself and/or take out an innocent bystander when you're "touge-ing".

Its one thing to stay on the tail of the car in front and another to drop him when he's on your tail. If you actually know as much as you think you know, then you would know that a centre brace does SFA especially with snows and nothing else. I'm not impressed and I don't think anyone else is.

And lastly if you want to be able to turn corners hard and still keep your speed, the critical thing is the speed you're talking about and how sharp the corner is. Get it wrong and you could roll the car.

I don't think PK198105 would have much to salvage.
