Have you pretty much decided on the XXX-S?
The "graphite plus" model looks like a winner. I will make a decision in December as to what I'll buy.
Just hope that any possible alternative(new Yokomo?)breaks cover before then.

NightkidZ,
The Authorities allow "Safe" mods, within reason.
They cracked down on noisy exhaust for a while but now the emphasis is on getting unlicenced drivers and potentially dangerous cars off the road. In Wellington, where I live there is the main entertainment district(A street about 300 metres long with many bars and cinemas) with another street intersecting the top of it. Along that are about 3 sets of traffic lights which the kids line up on most Friday and Saturday nights.

There's a webcam set up to show traffic(actually it was to cover the "Lord of the Rings" premiere) at this address. http://www.r2.co.nz/~wcam/2/
It shows the end of the "Entertainment" street and the beginning of the "Drag strip" street. You'll see some nice cars on it.
Check it out in about 6-7 hours time(11pm til about 2am NZ Time) and have a look at the "traffic flows".
