[s-cars] Want it. Can't have it.

[LL - NY]

Yup, gotta love turd balls. In regional Solo competition, it was fun to
harass "better" iron (C2, C3 Vette's, Porsche 944's, and a Carrera 4, DSP
Rabbits) with my turd ball stock class GTi. The harassment factor fell off
at Divisionals, where I was merely competitive in class, but at the regional
level, it sure was fun to beat big iron cars, all by momemtum. Actually, it
was even fun to be able to hold even with later C3 Vette's in a straight
line (toll booths), which is by no means a way of saying a stock class A2
GTi was fast, it was more a statement of the General's state of tune and
belief in performance in the '80's.
