cool and how would you get a gt to 200 mph as your skerrrd!..if you knew what I was talking about that's why I said try 1-2 much easier....the boy wants to learn how the drive..nothing wroug with that........I bet your one of those who take you car in to have let's say an air filter change and you get a flat on the way home you call the shop and blame them so they will fix it free..just a hunch<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">
