Neither have factory made V8 sedans, isn't that a rule or something? How about BMW or Mercedes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars have become nearly identical and we see nothing from the track on the road. The handling of our boats proves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 16y 7m 25d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 18/05/11 04:45 AM Share Posted 18/05/11 04:45 AM R35s there would be no competition by the time there stripped and prepped for the track.R35s in RWD? Might be a bit fairer, and RWD is more amusing. Or at least when burn outs were aloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
