Step away from the crack pipe mate
all im saying is that cars nowadays have been gettin press related stuff saying that they will recieve this and that and have this BHP and this Torque but they always come out down on the figures that the companies say!
yes it will b a good performing car, i never said that it wouldnt...and i cant wait to see some major companies getting their hands dirty on it and improving it further, but it has to be said that cars nowadays compared to cars 15-20 years ago ARE a bit watered down compared to back then, even with technology advancements they could still be a bit more powerful and hit the targets than car makers say they will!!
