And I am gearing up to deal with this one

So feel better that you are tackling something more difficult than mine!

They are worth looking into, and some, or even many may prove to be beneficial, even world altering. My problem with them is they are being pushed into the market by the same people/corporations that have pushed out many other products that were claimed to be wonderful and perfectly safe, that weren't at all. Man, as a species, never seems to grasp the law of unintended consequences Or worse yet, choses to ignore it.
this again .... keep in mind that we've been eating GMO's since the first selective breeding every happened ... only difference is now it's being done via the surgeon's scalpel and microscope and not "by guess and by golly ... there can, and probably will be some screw ups along the way .. but to paint all the "big corporations" with the "we're only concerned with profits and not how this will help mankind" is sorta short sighted ... but that's just my opinion y'all have at it ... but play nice, this subject usually gets a bit contentious

Where do they spend their money and then ask "why?"

It's wet in Arkansas! I used to fish under this bridge and down stream during my college days. War Eagle Mill.

You can't even see the dam or wheel. What it normally looks like:

Been following this build, nicknamed "Tweak", on another site. Owner is a pro race car builder in AZ. Mostly Porsches, I think.

Tweak is a project on chassis/suspension theory. Festiva 191 chassis is the strongest yet lightest fwd chassis with most of weight over and forward of front wheels. Only stiffening is lower radiator support, NO strut tower bar. NO aftermarket sways. NO sways in the rear. Key is limiting travel on modded cheap coilovers. 1" travel on the rear. THIS THING PLANTS! Very little lift on the inside rears on corners. Comfortable, daily driven, open diff, track day car.

Here it is sucking up a TT.

Here it is playing with a Ferrari..

. . . of course, other things help. Mazda g15 gear box, Aspire brakes, Capri B6T (ain't that the same motor in a 323 GTX?), overboosted, pushing over 160 hp injecting water and meth (hence the nickname "Tweak").

Problem: it eats tires.

R888's with less than 1000 miles and no burnouts.
