And i guess those guys dont know anything about chassis and weight 
distribution either.  It was just a short month or so ago that 
performance car compared the UrQ with the other AWD cars on the market, 
including the Skyline..While the UrQ didnt win, maybe you should read 
what they said about the chassis.....

i will take a 60/40 UrQ over a 50/50 Bimmer anyday....

later...
