I love those Esprits but every time I see Simba posting about tuning one, that one episode of Fifth Gear comes to mind...you know the one where they bought and modified an Esprit to try to get past 200 MPH, but they knever actually got to test it because it would break down every time before it had even arrived at the starting line.

The shop they had doing that were a few IQ points shy of being able to attend public school. I've never seen a bigger hack job on a car than that, and I've seen Hennessey Vipers.
