This is a new laptop for me. I went in to Best buy and bought the most expensive Sony Vaio in the store. Mostly because it had the graphics card I needed. Works like a champ though. Works for WinALDL too, and that was a must ;) Yes, I love the steering box. I tell you, it's been a long time since I drove the Elky. It's a bit like a racer in comparison to the Monte. The Monte is smooth, but can dance when you need it to. it is really predictable in it's handling, and that is a plus for every day. Monroe gas-matic shocks and stock suspension (for an SS). The Elky is a bit twitchy. With the air bags (that probably have a little too much air at the moment) and the Billstein's. It is a much tighter ride. It really needs a front end upgrade for better geometry, I believe. The brakes are much better with the revised vacuum location and subsequent overbore to the adapter. What I do know, is that this combination has spanked BMW's on the skid pad. Getting it better than this, can only be really good. Man ... I can't wait for Spring.
