    What would you do if.....

    What would you do if you had the opportunity to do ANYTHING and get away with it?

    Me personally, i'd get an f6 Typhoon and lay 2 fat tyre marks along Steve Bracks's driveway and smoke up the front of his house, AND do the same infont of the rest of the Victorian government. The bastards want to change the ADR's so that speedo's only read up to 130km/h and have them limited to that or some crap. These are the buggers supporting the "no tolerance" speed campaign as well

    mate i reckon you could get away with 4 turbo's on a V12, but twin's might be safer

    that'd be a pretty good sight, they can get about 600kw out of those 3.6L boxer's with some pretty mean setups

    they have to ditch the AWD front drive shafts once they get to 600+hp cause they cant take the power which is a pity cause a 900hp AWD 911 would lay some serious numbers

    I'd like to lead a country to war by lying about the purpose and convincing everyone that I had God on my side.

    no... wait .... damn ..... someone's beat me to that one

    Anyway .....

    sticker the car up to match the event sponsorship for a WRC event.
    Turn up at the first stage with number 13 ( no reputable rally driver would TOUCH that number ) and complete the whole event. .... in a Corvette

    mate nearly got away with this on last years classic Monte Carlo event. Guided by the police into competitor parking and parc ferme, posed for photos and even interviewed by French TV/radio - never sure if it ever got boradcast

    i wouldve thought Gemballa had the resources to strengthen the standard drivetrain somewhat, i would be pretty pissed if it only handled 600hp....but still, the Carrera 2 compared to the C4 is still faster, but i guess once you add the power, traction goes out the window


    you really think you could survive in a Corvette at a rally Matra? sounds.......interesting........to say the least

    Sorry guys, you should know my warped sense of humour by now and this IS the Aussie forum.

    From what I have read on some posts the new Corvette can virtually do anything as long as Stig isnt driving it,as Stig couldnt drive a nail into a bit of wood or so Ive been told

    i hate that.....everythings about long life reliability and shit in the US, its like they'd rather not make a car you actually have to work on.....i know it can have its benefits excaping that route, but maybe Matra'll say smething about actually getting you head under the bonnet, or fiddling with other parts of the suspension to make it go better
