TPC sells what is rumored to be a good kit for under $6K, expecting $1,200-$2000 for installation. While that is pricey, in the long run, it would give that edge that I'm looking for, and prevent me from going all out and buying one of our rear-engined sister-cars.
No worries, though, I'm not running out the door to start changing stuff JUST yet. Give me another 12-20 months.
