The Weakest Link
Since the day I bought the Vette for my wife, we have continually modded the car & in each step we improved on the 'weak link', but as expected, each mod high-lighted the next 'weak link'. We started with HP/TQ, then tires (switched to Yokos), then more HP/TQ, then brakes, then more HO/TQ, then suspension, then More HP/TQ, etc. However, after the install of the Nittos, it appears that there is still a weak link. No matter how hard I drive the car, I cannot seem get to the maximum of its capability. So my wife says to me, "Now YOU are the weak link! Maybe I need a younger driver!" 
Fortunately she said it with a smile, so I think she was kidding.

Hey Sully,
I thought that it was her car to start with, and that's why all these mods were so easy to get authorized.
I'll bet that she'll let you stay around.
I hope that you all have a good holiday season.

I continually tell that to everyone who complains that their spouse gets annoyed when they want to mod. If you buy the car for HER & mod the car to make HERS the fastest or best looking, then SHE is very supportive of 'Mod Fever'. Strategy my man Strategy!
