compared to a standard CTR, i know what id put my money on! and as for handeling like its on rails, you driven any cars that do handle well in the same league, like a 106gti, or a 106 xsi........

i know muppetsport's (formally teddys) was just over 900, think that was 903, and that was stripped well.... itll take a lot to get it below 900...
