I still like them. They aren't THAT slow and they still look cool as hell. It just seems that way when you compare it to cars nowadays with these crazy HP wars. I don't know how anyone who likes cars would not like the way it looks...got that classic hot-rod look, with really cool looking wheels. It's very unique w/o being ugly which is what often happens when manufacturers try and make something that stands out from the crowd.

Hey, SSR's actually have power. They're like stuffing a LS2 in a S-10.

I've gotten to play with one before, I killed it from a 10 roll till about 80 by quite a few cars. Whoever was driving wasn't happy they were beat by an old truck cuz they wouldn't pull up to the light, they stayed about 2 cars back.
