No matter what, I think this is (by far) the best chance for Team Serpent to show ppl that their 1/8th and MEGA are capable to be the A1 position (under shadow of Mugen and Kyosho for way too long).....what very interested me is BARRY BAKER...........talk about someone is totally new to the 960 (ok...all he need is 2-3 months because he is BAKER)........and he did so good on the 1/8th so far. (I know 1/8th is not new for him).
Serpent gonna sign him for 1/8th next season............I take it AE are not planning to make a competition 1/8th in the near future.

Don't forget that at least 4 (or is it 5) of Collari's 7 World Championship wins were on a Serpent car. If you were Mugen or Kyosho back then you'd think 'Jeez, can we ever win this thing?' Plus, you've got to look at success in terms of all races. In how many mains does a 960 come across the finish line first? I may drive the same car as Paolo Morgani but I don't drive like him. Do I need skills like him to be successful in races against others at my skill level or can I compete with a 960 at my skill level? With the 960 I'd say I can compete.
Plus, remember Cincinnati 2003? Ralph Burch (driving for Serpent) held first for almost 30 minutes. But something happened to car and he dropped out. Sh*t happens.

I think this is the best car serpent has ever produced since Vector and there is a good chance the snake will nail this. Just want to say this, the best selling car may not be the best championship car at the same time. For manufacturer concern it will be sales, but for us is satisfaction. If this car makes my driving one step further I will not hesistate to buy it. I think the big snake has taken a new direction on this car and this is good. I had doubts initially and now I am convinced this car is very capable of winning, amoung the very best. I know becuase I run with these guys in the Seprent Asia race with a 960, a very good car indeed.

They just kept trying harder. Good competition is good for all of us. Better cars and better prices.
