Scott,

	It isn't the Stealth/Mitsu VR4 that you have to worry about.  The 
Talon/Eclipse/Laser, with a few hundred dollars worth of mods, can run 
high 12s all day long.  I've seen it.  The Stealth is too heavy to be 
really fast.
	However, I think that we can beat them with the right amount of 
work.  They have 150 fewer pounds, and a VERY good 4 valve 2.0 litre.  We 
have a stronger engine, and drivetrain, and an extra 200 CCs.
