Yeh I know what u mean most of our cars are under powered compared to US versions, They do handle alot better cos we have these things called bends and corners on our roads (lol) They have to be driven hard to be real fun, normally 5000 revs and above.
I got to drive a Dodge Dakota 4x4 Sport V8 Magnum, while i was in Canada for awhile, 240Bhp i think. Put it in 2wd and floored it o what fun!!!:sun: Nice Truck, cheap price, but about $2000 to import it to UK And the price of fuel over here is way too high Bloody Tax but still the Dakota did 110mph and was alot more stable than a Land rover Discovery or Mitsu Shogun.
Wish i could try a Hemi That really would lose me my licence.

Hemi.. um, yes. 425hp (closer to 500 though, they were under-rated). 0-60 in the 5's (bad tires), a quarter in the low 13's (again, tires). Very nice

But European cars are also more involving to drive. If you ever try to steer a Pontiac Grand Am, it will steer, but you have no idea what the wheels are doing! And that sucks I prefer the steering on an 87 Nissan King Cab with the 4-pot. It may handle worth poop, but you can tell that the front wheels are slipping, and what the road is like, etc, etc.

First off, I'm impressed, some of you are frickin' ballsy mofo's. 160 mph?!?! That's crazy!! The fastest I've been is 135 mph in my Teg back when I had my JRSC installed. I was racing a cypress green Teg, that I assume must have had some serious mods, because there I was going 135 on a downhill, and even though I was still increasing speed, he was still pulling away from me (slowly, but nevertheless he was pulling away), and I decided enough is enough and eased off. I was scared shitless because cars in the lane next to me were going like 65 to 70. I was shaking for a moment or two after that. I plan to top 135 mph once I get my new engine and rebuilt SC installed.

is that 130mph or 130km/h??? since you live in Canada, i was thinkin maybe you mean 130km/h
130km/h isn't very fast... that's only like 75-80mph (guess)

Lucky Basterd. I got pulled over doing 92 in a 65 and all the cop asked was to see my license and registration, and the thing he gave me was in the shape of a tick it.

353 km/h in a Dodge Viper RT-10. Only reason I didn not top it out, was b/c there was a curve in the freeway!!!
