You might want to put your car on a diet just to make sure... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

M6's from a roll are dangerous <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> It's been so long since I've driven a stock convertered car though I forget where the "sweet spots" are

As long as you are familiar and comfortable with your car, you'll have no problem. I hate people who constantly run their mouths! Kick her ***! <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

I agree with racing her from a stop, theres a difference in driving a stick and racing with a stick. If you happen to meet her somewhere and race her from a roll, wait till time she puts it in second, and then you punch it (she will most likley give you the move since everyone thinks that your car is slower) when she goes shes gona be downshifting into 1st and if shes as bad of a driver as you put it she'll light em up big time. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
Or you can cheat, stick a soft fruit (plum or banana) up her tail pipe (of the car that is) instnat power robber sending all the exhaust out through one side (friend did this to a mustang) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
