Actually that makes sense, TTs run low 14s too yeah?

i particularly like this bit
"a blue Ford Falcon FPV sedan" and
"Anyone with information about the Falcon that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000"

because a Blue FPV is really bloody descriptive... :?

Yeah no deal, if the TT was doing 220, the race was going for too long.
14 second FPV = BOSS motor, or one legged man in a manual F6.

Its just crazy street racing, if you hurt someone else, your excuse in court, the FPV tried to blow me at the lights??

I say its good to mod your car, if you wanna know what it can do, go to a proper track and test it out. Then you will know inside what your car can do, do some research on other cars so you know what they can do and then at the lights calculate a win or a loss based on that. Maybe even tell the other driver you would have won based on your calculations. That will pee them off more than if you had street raced them and beaten them.

Ive done it before. I said to another driver, my car is good for an eleven second pass, so i dont want to have to pull your pantys down in front of decent law abiding public citizens. So be happy in your 16 second car and dont bite off more than you can chew...

the other driver called me a f*g but I just laughed at him.

Does noone remember these wise words?

I like the Audis but I daresay, if I was the one in the FPV, I'd have a grin on my face for quite some time 8-)

220km/h? Top shit! I read on teh internetz (so it must be true :?) that 227km/h in a 100 zone is instant jail-time... close ;)
