my 2p is its more power to weight that appeals to me.

but you need power and torque in a road car to make it usable.

torque is easier to use power is more fun to use

all imo

and mk1 'charged mr2's  :cool:

Im well aware of that. The really old cheese wedge shape mr2  :sick:


ha ha yeah, proper 80's machine. You should make an effort to drive one then you wouldn't care what it looked like :wink:

I do like the v-tecs, my bro's old S2000 was really sweet and i do lstill ove the old dc2's.

I second tg1, power to weight is where it's at, take that Caparo that was on top gear which had twice the bhp/ton than a veyron and nailed the lap in 7 seconds less than the Koenigsegg CCX, sorry for the big link don't know how to do a 'clicky'
