FFS Ladies,

They're still just a slow plastic coffin with no room to swing a cat unless you're 5'8" or less and weigh no more than 11 stone with size 8 feet. Yesterday was fun no doubt but lets not get all gooey and misty eyed just yet !!!

Plastic.......maybe
slow.....I think not

It was more about the emotions that were stirred than the BHP waving around. Fun in spades and a delicacy in handling I've not experienced before. All from a British firm, building cars by hand just down the road. Sounds good to me

5'8" - check
Size 8 feet - check
11 stone - not quite

I personally didn't think it was slow, maybe at Snett the S version would feel a tad slow as its a lot more open a track etc. But I agree with Stu it wasn't all about having 5 billion horsepower and torques, it was the feel and handling that got me, excellent fun :!:

Although I did get in teh Evo for my cross country blast home and thought that it was still on par with the feel and handling :!:

You wouldnt have to put on too much weight to reach 11 stone though Gerry

That Tiger looks like fun. What does it weigh Eddy?

Around 500Kg so 400hp/tonne as much as a 600hp Skyline/Evo etc. You can get a new engine for
