hey burninout 101: i know you tongue is firmly planted in your cheek! but, i removed the air cond. compressor from my 86 saab 9000 turbo 4 dr. sedan to autox and driver school it (moderately modified--12/14 lbs of boost, battery in trunk, etc.). also autox and driver schooled my 91 camaro z281le(low production, a-sedan, trans am. factory race car)--no air (from factory), added weight with a 6-point rollcage to reduce chassis flex. both cars handled well and were fun to drive---except during our middle ga. heat waves--can you say "asphalt-fried eggs?
