    The "Pace" reminds me of an interview with Emerson Fittipaldi quite a few years ago. In it, he said he could work as a Chaffeur or race driver and still use the same style. It was a function of SMOOTH, ease on the throttle, ease off the throttle, ease on the brake, ease into the steering... I tried it in my every day driving and it does help. There is a singular satisfaction in rolling up to a Stoplight, coming to a dead stop and not ever dipping the nose, all in the same distance and time as all the other idiots scraping their ground effects on their coffee can exhaust toys. (Off the subject, "Idiots, if you are going to install a Milliwatt Stereo in a Neon, take out all the rattles first..."
