Spotted Grey Z32 with NEON's, Tiptree Sunday Afternoon
I think they look shit, they don't compliment any car, even 18 wheelers have them now, driving down the a13 at night I see them all the time, ridiculous.

performance difference
TT's 2+2 handle wicked, I don't know why people say otherwise, I can go round roundabouts in the dry at 45+ mph with no loss of backend, You can make the back step out if you really want as well. At 110mph the other day I had to avoid 3 cars on the a13 one broken down with no warning in the fast lane, any other car of this size would have lost its back the speed at which I snapped back in (thanks hicas) The only time the TT is unstable is in the wet accelerating stupidly, the wheels start to spin at about 4k, i've only really been out of shape once and thats because I was trying to get out of the way of an ambulance in 2nd gear on a wet roundabout, The car responded well to counter steer though and was back on a straight line instantly. Of course people get out of shape in them but there will be no difference to most other rear wheel cars, Ive had a few brown pants moments in my 67 Midget which I may add the zed handles just as well as. Id say the NA is about as fast as an NA Mr2 from the lights? maybe a bit quicker? I kick Mr2's arses :)

Homepage design 2
I dunno, that colour will make it hard to get a god text overlay, if you go for something to dark it will stick out like a sore thumb and if you go to light then people will have difficulty reading it (especially colour blind people like me) I like the sxoc, can't go wrong withshades of blue in my opinion :)

Oops..
You should go to a skidpan, your local police will organise one and its about £40 but for that you get 2-3 theory lessons and a go on the skid pan which is videotaped for you. You have to counter steer into a skid but not to much as with rear wheel drive cars you end up having to correct again if you oversteer, I find in the zed that a quick snap of the wheel in one direction and then back to horizontal with a tap of the accelerator as you are straight generally gets me out of any sticky situations. The problem with braking or accelerating is that you change the weight distribution of the car. If you hit the breaks you are going to move all the weight to the front of the car making the back end very light and have it switch ends very quickly, acclerate to hard and you end up loosing more traction. I found myself sideways around an empty roundabout a few weeks back trying to get out of the way of an ambulance at 11pm a quick counter steer set me straight though, I think the zed corrects very well for its size and weight, I drive a rear wheel drive Midget as well and it responds just as well as that.

why so wet?
do you have anything in your car which has absorbed moisture? Remember if you wipe the screenwith a cloth and then put it in the car the moisture from the cloth just ends up back on the windscreen, apart from that, its just the time of the year when cars do that, thank god it isn't icing up yet :)
