MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 16y 11m 21d Posted 14/03/08 10:54 AM Share Posted 14/03/08 10:54 AM Could have found much better range of cars in my own opinion. I also agree that the driving abilities of those guys doesn't do cars justice. The dawk with the Ferrari didn't even give it some stick in the dyno - whats the point of having a car if your not going to explore it's limits... If your afraid your going to blow the engine then buy something cheaper that you can afford to fix. I reakon the RX7 should have taken the title - love those twin turb rotors...Seeing Jeremy in the Brock win was a complete dissapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most S6 owners dump the TT setup straight away! Ol mate even said that if he blew the motor up in the ferrari then he would have to sell one of his houses to replace it.....

Simple mistake Dom. Still a timeless shape though, considering it originally hit the market in 92! What year is yours? 2000?Bad luck mate, but they had to have an aussie icon take the title I think mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvmyre Member 2 Member For: 16y 10m 28d Posted 15/03/08 01:59 PM Share Posted 15/03/08 01:59 PM thank you very much people I take it as a big honour when people say things like they dont usually like them but mine is different I think people get the point that I just wanted to build a tough car .....as for the competition some cars came with drag slicks and front runners and drums of race fuel some of us just came with the one set of tyres and filled up at the servo...in the drag the xy wasnt the fastest the torrie was over the 1/4 mile and I was over the 1/2 mile anyway hope you all enjoyed the show and if you want I can post up my site links to the whole series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
