True PF,

Once you get past the hype and flash it's always MaryAnn. :D

hehehehe....

OK, in a little serious vein as a general overall rule and all other things being equal I'd say suspension trumps HP. But just a general rule. Devil is in the details as they say.

I'll take good suspension anyday over a good motor. As long as the motor is competitive, work on the suspension...
good working suspension will tire you out less and you can go into the turns harder and hit the jumps faster. The only thing a good motor is going to get you is to the first turn quicker, and out of the turns quicker (if they are smooth)
Get the suspension working good, then work on the motor. Just my $.02

Hey good luck Loren! I wish I could get up there. :( My plan is to make some races in the late Spring. What are your favorite tracks here in Nor Cal?

This post has really stirred my childhood fantasies. Now that I'm older and have been around the block a few times maybe I'll just have both Ginger and Mary Ann. :twisted: LOL
