[QUOTE="IA Shelby, post: 16170471, member: 122099"] I understand the OP’s perspective. I was in a similar position and then had to decide what to do about it. I never liked the drag radial answer just because it limits where and when you can take the car out for longer trips in the event you get caught in the rain or you wanted to wring it out on a curvy road. I also had the backend kick out on me once going down the interstate at 75mph. That was enough for me to consider plan B. I have responsibilities like raising 3 kids that are significantly more important than living on the edge so to speak. I also am fortunate to have a very senior position within a very high profile company in my area. Showing up in the paper getting busted for speeding at triple digits would not be good for my career. My plan B was to move to an AWD platform that was good from a dig, could roll out without having the backend switch lanes and having the best possible radar detector which helps but still doesn’t eliminate but reduces the risk of a speeding ticket. I sold the Shelby and bought a new GTR and Uniden R3. I still am able to enjoy the thrill of speed but was significantly less risk. I do not regret making this move at all. Like many of us I still want more..so I am planning to go FBO w/E-85 in the next couple of months. Everybody’s situation is a bit different. I am sure I am not as skilled of a driver as many of the SVTP ballers on here. I can admit that and still have fun with my new set up. In the end I did would made me happy. [/QUOTE]
