<VV> Notes

[Bryan Blackwell]

Bear in mind that if the car has locked the tires, there's *nothing* 
you can do to the brakes that will shorten the stopping distance.  You 
need better tires.  They don't really need to be wider, although 
finding good tires in a 13 inch size is pretty tough.  You could 
consider going to a 14 or 15 inch steel wheel and hubcap combo, that 
will improve your tire selection and still look kinda stock if you stay 
at a 185 or 195 width.
