Are you disrespecting my vehicle? There are all sorts of car enthusiasts on this board.

Nice!
Bit judgemental aren't you jockc79? So, what cars would you suggest post their power figures on here then? I'm afraid to post mine now, just incase you deem it a "heap of s**t"

It's not just about bhp. It's a lifestyle choice. I couldn't very well turn up to a GM food or Greenpeace rally in a gas-guzzling performance car, could I? They'd look at me askance. My Morris Minor 1000 is perfect.

I have a horse and cart putting out a massive one horsepower. I have tried nitrous, but Dobbin just gets the giggles!

Lightened running-boards and alloy leaf springs are worth at least a second on the quarter mile.
