You seem pretty clued up on this investment stuff.

The sprinter is on all fours when in the starting blocks... technically giving him/her a RWD layout and as we've learnt from Luke, that creates a real issue getting off the line. Therefore the only logical conclusion would be that the Corsa would likely mock the sprinter.

Martin's Escort V1 seemed to have the perfect blend of grip/power/gearing & off the line had few equals. It didnt have the power to reach 200mph in the confines of an airfield but IMO was the better alround car of the 2 he created . It remains my favourite Escort
.Actually im the only person on this Forum who gives a monkeys nuts about doing 200mph
. I dont get involved with chaved up Corsas & im sure Martin doesnt either.

it aint use able power though.. for example i bet if you raced martins car you would get smoked on a race track his car might lap yours.. or say if you bumped into each other on the streets i bet you wouldnt know what way he went if u decided to have a race.. your car does 200plus but it cant do it when u need it to.. youd have to say " err my car is only fast at brunters after 100mph its fast " .. dont get me wrong i love your saff tbh its a beast but do u not wish sometimes it had had more power lower end

this thread reminds me of a mug that has just started at work - religious, prays to allah everyday facing mecca, you know the type.
he has seen a video on youtube where they find a giant (human) skeleton so he now believes that they exist, although he refuses to believe that dinosaurs existed
