yeh, but you only need those 7/8 airbags, safety cells, etc if you impact at high speeds.. if you didnt have those cars which go 250+ (usually due to tweaking) iono.. i rkn less accidents..

like yesterday.. i was near james ruse drive.. 3 cars collided, two collided head-on.. and one of them looked like it could be written off.. and guess what? they were all commos

not saying that all commos are bad or nuttin.. jus that sometimes i dont understand why put a 5.7L engine wen the owner, at 99% of the time dont even use it for like, track.. and they use it only to drive to work or something..

yeh anyway.. i'm not sure what i'm saying.. i love cars which do have potential.. but just not on public roads..

 

[CieL]

so you prefer a world full of boring econoboxes?

no.. didnt say that.. but i just think powerful cars + public roads with a speed limit = stupid idea

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

powerful cars are great at beating the car beside you to the next set of red lights

 

[CieL]

heh.. unless the fag next to u has a better car than urs

 

[loquasagacious]

Which is why people buy cars with 6L v8s and then supercharge them.....

Or equally drive tuned R-32/33

yeah, my Camry V6 beat a VT Commonwhore Executive at the lights to 100 km/h then i had to slow down cause we were approaching a speed camera. if i didn't drive a faster car i'd think my Camry is just fine for everything.

*cries to see the wrecked enzo and zonda*

but one thing i dont understand..

they keep lowering the speed limit on public roads, yet build more n more powerful (street legal/stock) cars.. whyyyyyy??

EXACTLY...we should increase speed limits back to 60Km/h

Can anybody justify why in some ways a Lotus Elise is one of the greatest driving cars ever made?

 

[loquasagacious]

High power-to-weight, sophisticated handling.

Get the top gear episode where they test it and talk about it,

overall its not that high classed compared to other expensive cars....

 

[DaddyK]

Its not really that expensive. The reason its so good because its tiny, handles like a go cart and has extreme power to weight ratio.

i was out yesterday and i saw a fpv territory (well all i saw was a fpv badge on the back of a territory), i wasnt aware that they are out yet...was it actually one or just a fpv badge on a normal territory?

i dont really stay quiet up to times with new cars (say an FPV territory), but i dont think they exist, well not atm anyways...i'd safely guess it was someones wishful thinking

i'm guessing power-to-weight ratio (dont know what it is), the suspension development done by Lotus, and it's real racecar-for-the-road feel

it's quick, nimble and looks horn esp the lotus exige

 

[Elements]

Mmmmmmmmmm Lotus...........

No way, FPV don't have it in the short-term future. As for Ford - we'll never know.......

But the 2008 Falcon is a ripper. Just hope interior build finish is a bit more up to scratch.

 

[shortygb]

it was problaby just a fpv badge on a normal territory then.

 

[Elements]

That would add a few more neddies (horses) onto it then wouldn't it?

Instead of a NIZPRO, RALLIART sticker, go for FPV! Guaranteed an extra 200kWs!

Stripes on XRs. Just doesn't suit the bodykit. Don't like them at all. Period. GT - good - it suits it.

But that's me.

 

[SlipStream]

lol, thanks for the Lotus discussion peeps. I wanted to see what people say - my answer draws my theory of "driving purity" which I'll waffle on about some other time.

 

[transcendent]

do racing stripes make cars go faster?

 

[loquasagacious]

Yes.

if you have a RED car with STRIPES, then your car is GUARANTEED to be +20km/h faster :uhhuh: true, it's happened to friends of a friend of mine
