    how about this for a car..

    over in the states atm.. seen a few nicish looking things around including this

    http://www.dodge.com/magnum/index.ht...pe=vehicleLink

    which i think is sexy as hell, and with 340 hp stock, should be quite nippy too

    secondly, how about one of these..

    http://www.dodge.com/srt-10/index.ht...pe=vehicleLink

    500 horsepower
    525 lb-ft of torque

    for just over 20k!! thats obscene value.. and what a sleeper - i mean it looks MEAN, but if that pulled up next to you would you really think it were quick?

    I'm rather worried about where Dodge as a company see there vehicles tbh...
    A quote from the Ram's literature...
    Standard 22-inch aluminum wheels round out the features of this awesome Ram. And P305/40R22 BSW performance tires help transfer all that power to the pavement.

    It's not just the HP but the torque that makes it mental.

    500 bhp from an 8l engine isnt *that* bad - its not good but its not useless. most 2l engines only push out about 140 bhp.. it would probably be more reliable than something that has to push 1-200bhp per litre. anyways, theres no real problem being lazy with your motors, specially when petrol is as cheap as it is over here

    Except the huge amount of pollution that america produces (24% of all global emissions — but just 5% of the world's population!)

    Not that I'll get into that in this thread.
