Default Space Shuttle Burn up

Had a race with a space shuttle earlier on the M25, kept up with him up to 150 but then he bottled it, reckon i could have had him though.

Apparently, they have a build quality to rival most French cars ,and have had some important factory recalls

Yea i noticed, as we came off the slip road at junc 11, on the roundabout his **** end was twitching all over the place it had so much body roll, so i definatly had him on the rounabout. He even had the cheek to give me the two finger salute out of his window.

LOL at you even thinking you could keep up with the Space shuttle on a dual carriageway. You might beat it off the line (it doesn't have 4wd), but once those twin turbos kick in over 110mph, you've no hope.



Same text for Supras, Shuttles etc.

mmm he wasn't trying although being in a scoob you have probably matched the fuel consumption at a around 5,000 litres per second thats about what my Sti used on track days I thnk he probably had you on power though unless your scoob is running 37million horepower
Also imagine what a scoob would sound like if the exhoast gasses came out a 6000 mph 5 times the speed of sound... trust me i've seen the thing lift off and no scoob is that loud
a few amazing facts about the real thing

This thread is meant to be a joke, the picture isn,t..............................

Any way im in the process of putting some wings,flux capaciter,green neons,more areo dynamic front wipers, roof mounted turbo, 29 inch exhaust system and the stick on style TT filler cap..oh and some tarten paint.
That should see me keep up with the shuttle up to about 230mph i reckon.

The shuttle pilot has challenged me to round 2 !!!

I had a shuttle a couple of years ago, and while it was decently quick it was no diesel in the mid range! Thing is they are two different beasts, one is designed to achieve terminal velocity, whilst the other is just a space shuttle...........
