    how to make folk jump..wait for it..

    and throttle response anyone?…

    proper engines.



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    yes lads its all down hill from now on. I think that Sinclair bloke who brought out the C5 was probably about 40 years too early, if he re did it now it would probably sell like hot cakes to the flossy milenials, greenys and eco nuts !!

    Have to agree the future for motoring looks bleak. Even if you own something special now, the likelihood of being able to use it on the public highway may well be in doubt.

    In my opinion Top Fuel Dragsters are the most amazing machines on the planet. Watching two of them do a 300 mph standing quarter side by side in under 4 seconds is spectacular !!

    Yes coastliner we have indeed had the best era of motorsport and motoring.

    I went to santa pod last year for the first time and you just can’t explain how loud those things are at full chat!

    One mind blowing stat’ is at the start once the back wheels reach where the front wheels started they are already doing 60mph!!

     

    That’s just mental!
