I really don't understand what all the fuss was about in October; the
Spec-V is an improvement in every way over it's direct predecessor (my
car), and even exceeds the Classic.  It's a good car, dammit!  If the
redlines weren't so low on the SE and the SE-R, they'd be quite a bit
quicker in both 0-60 and 1/4; the one thing Nissan did screw the pooch
on.

What do you mean the SE didn't wheel-hop?  Lifting the inside rear is a
common manifestation with stiff suspensions; I really don't think it's a
problem.
