Nice one Jay, not seen that particular vid of the General before either.
See the dash flex?  Awesome stuff! |

My comments on this will probably start world war three but. The point is exactly?? Bloody fast I grant you and awesome engineering but what can you do with a car that not only rips your face off but tries to eat it's own dash too! Where could you use that over here, apart from the Isle Of Man, and that's not over here. I probably am missing a point somewhere along the line but he, just my opinion.

Sweden, that's where Rich.
 I think he's mainly built it for 'drifts' and 1/4 miles etc, and as a showcase/engineering exercise.....And for a bit of a giggle.  Last edited by PeterB; 02-05-09 at 06:44 PM. |

The fact he's 24 speaks volumes I think to scandinavians skillbase. They have an uncanny habit of being exceptional at anything they try their hands at....
Admittedly yes, it isnt a useable everyday driving kind of car but in terms of Quattro "home" automotive achievements it is pretty high up there. Its not taken too seriously and trailored everywhere being polished and driven carefully.

There's always going to be a use for 700+bhp. It's the pure joy of having the power and enjoying the brute physical force when you feel like it.
Like a fellow I know who has a 997 Turbo (Tiptronic) with 600bhp. He has not yet used full throttle because "it's like carrying a Magnum 44 on your belt". |
