You guys took care of that pretty well. Did not even need to bring up the "Best handling car under 30K" comparison (C&D from 1997 Nov?). DSM and SVT (E0)were both players but guess who came out on top and matched the turbo 210 HP AWD road course lap times with 195 HP and FWD. And that was an E0, 99 and 00 more power, better suspension, grippier tires..
