Well said m8,as an ex Ambulance man i have seen the results of too much power and insufficient chassis mods to cope with it !!,Also having been involved in motorsport to british championship level for many years,i know as well as you do that the best initial results for performance improvement come from chassis mods and not more power !!!
We see it all the time in bike racing,a customer will come to you and ask for power mods when his bike handles so crap it can`t handle what it`s already got(that goes for almost every car as well)but unfortunately its a macho thing,guys love to talk big numbers in the pub in front of their friends(something to do with small willies i think).

Anyone who needs graphic proof of this need look no further than Geoff Turton of GNT Fabrications and his brilliant pug 306 Maxi WRC copy,despite having the standard 2.0 motor and 6 speed box,it makes a laughing stock of some really powerful cars at track days because of its mega suspension/brake setup.

So people start listening to people who know and mod your cars in the correct order and stop trying to impress your mates with power figures.........
