Ahh, the good old days of being able to take a corner hard in the Elantra.
Even driving a Buick, I enjoy an occasional spirited romp up an on-ramp. The speed is nice, but the experience of getting that little jerk back in the seat at a high-RPM 1-2 shift and letting the car get up to 65+ in second I do miss. And the on-ramps here are too short for more than about 7-8 seconds of full throttle. Hmm, how would a boat like the Buick do in auto-x bone-stock? -------------------- Everything is good in moderation. Including moderation.

you forgot all about me didn't you? Disappointed I am. . . .disappointed.
Yes, check for your local SCCA region and also be sure to check for NASA. Both offer great thrills that are more dependant on driver skill than the actual car iteself.

I love blowing past those silly automatic civics with the rice burner pipes and watching the teenager-hoodlems whine that they can accelerate that fast. Luckily theres plenty of those here

+1 for Autocross. It's the most fun you can have on three wheels.
