and thus Car Talk "how to side-track a thread in four posts" has come into light:
1. Start thread about quick and/or fast cars, regardless of merit, quality, or other factors
2. Post something completely irrelevant in said thread about speed, such as Zodiac Symbol, Socrates, or how "numbers aren't everything"
3. Wait for another completely irrelevant post about steering feel, windshield washer filler placement, or interior quality
4. Thread goes to hell.

what I like is that super car is no longer enough, ultra bleeding edge of death and insanity cars are now increasingly common - I saw a radical driving down las vegas blvd last week and this is considered street legal.
and for the 2 wheeler crowd I've seen these spin the rollers @ 191hp to the rear wheel stock from the dealer. Yeah 400 pounds 200 hp that's 2:1 power to weight ratio from a stock BMW

Cars are a helluva lot faster these days. Still, only six in the Feb. R&T test summary page faster in the 1/4 than the white car in my sig. Cheapest one over 1/4 million!
