Good points about the E-brake. With this in mind, I agree that 13's all around would be more than of a hazard than a reduction;

I don't race yet, now that I really do have money to burn I'm focusing on the bueaty of the car (god does it need it) then braking/suspension, then go-fast. "Power is nothing without control" I'm oddly attracted to a Mini Cooper S, so if I like it I'll setup the SVT to auto-cross and as my show-off car.
