You've seen a Nascar trying to negotiate corners, right? I rest my case.

It handles really long ones just fine.
 I like a good light car myself, but 100hp is not too much for anything. Hell, the Gixxer 600 a few post back has over 100 hp. More power is always more better.

Dodge Ram 1500 Double Cab with Hemi, can not be driven without a smile, particularly with sports exhaust system
 Also tow a trailer with a rover SD1 race car in the back, you get very strange looks towing a trailer up a hill on a motorway at ~~mph. I must be the only going racing with a more powerfull engine in the tow vehicle than the race car in the back. |

Chevy is a Brand. i.e. my engine was from a Chevy Corvette. GM is the parent company. I dare say it is a Caddy Labelled lump when in a Cady CLS for instance - does it matter.
It was one hell of a wild ride - nothing got near it in 4 years

I gather you mean LS7 power levels? Could it be a 'Terminator' blown 4.6 quad cam? Have seen one of those imported & put in an Aussie Falcon with something stupid like 800hp at the wheels

Just got my new car yesterday, its a 2007 BMW 320D SE E90 in Silver. Lovely car so far, its sporty yet quiet and very economical, just trying to remember why I ever went away from RWD...

I don't think I've ever posted this here. I've owned it for over 2 years now.

I've owned a Jaguar XK since August 2007. Done 45,000 miles so far, most recently seen at Le Mans for the 24 hours.
Modifications include:- - Gosling push/pull hand controls and steering knob - XKR black grille without silver strake - 20" Team Dynamics Equinox II wheels - chrome frames for headlights, taillights and foglights - Carbon fibre wheeled wheelchair for carrying in the boot!

I've got a red 1999 Fiat Punto 1.2. Good enough little car for me, but once I'm out of uni with a stable job I hope to upgrade to a 500!

Didn't see and intro section so I'll use this as my forum intro, too. I'm a senior in mechanical engineering trying to get some automotive tech along the way although it's a bit difficult to find. My daily driver is a 1983 BMW 635csi, and I have a former dd that is now my toy car which is a 1985 635csi. I'm a bit of a Bimmer guy......
These look to be some great forums and I look forward to reading in on what's going on. Alex |

My pride and joy is an import (to the UK), 1996 Nissan Stagea RS4.
Bags of room and a total sleeper (in it as well, as I have at race meets already). It goes like billyo.
