Hmm not really sure what you mean by this. Evasive, not really. Just was not sure what was meant by better street legal car. Read the post again. It does not say "street legal performance". It says a "better street legal car" without a definition of "better". The criteria for better just were not mentioned and I was not sure what was meant by a better street legal smog exempt car. There are many different performance factors. I was only commenting a road track capable car that is street legal but nothing else. If a 1/4 mile car is the desired result then this is a different criteria but how am I to know what is desired without asking. With regards to acceleration. I am not into 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile straight line racing but I will say that you are probably mistaken to say that my Noble is not an accelerating car as 0-60 in 3.2 or better is not too bad. For Nobles with performance upgrades the 0-60 time is 2.9 or better.
