Though I've read countless reviews espousing their rain performance, I have a lot of sketchy moments with my Super Sports. Any all season tire seems to handle better in wet conditions.

The entire exhaust system is titanium - not just the catback. Mid pipe, over pipe, front pipe, headers. The previous owner was obsessed about weight savings.

I love passing teens that have only known boxy Bumblebee's since they were a toddler. The slick Japanese curves of yesteryear break their necks because it's almost from a different planet for them.
