That's precisely why people form their opinion. I personally don't believe that my wants and needs should overshadow anyone else's. I don't believe I have a right to annoy people or disturb their peace. I tend to have some thought and consideration for others.

If I had to make one argument about that, it would be that it's not WRC. It's a pretty strong argument.

Only a turbo and a gearbox away from being able to take it to 650bhp though!

Funny. My Fireblade is only a chassis, drivetrain and bodywork away from being an F40.

Of course it does.

Nobody thinks "Oh, look, there goes a raging bell-end." No, of course they don't. They think you're a hero, a god among men.
2L, Closed Block engine, Fully forged, Titanium studs,

basically the only thing that stops the car being good for 650bhp is the gearbox and turbo.

Er,

No roll cage,
Full interior
No plumbed in fire extinguisher
No Harnesses
No Hydraulic Handbrake
You dont choose from a selection of different wheels and tyres when leaving home
Rally stages arent generally down urban streets
Rally drivers look where they are going, not if anyone is noticing them

It isnt a rally car, it just makes some noises that sound a bit like one

Good job - because (whisper it ) , if you look in your mirrors (y'know , those shiny things ? ) , you just might see some grown ups pointing at you and laughing themselves silly

325bhp per litre? Whilst it might monogamy) nominally make it, it won't be fun to drive nor will it last long.

You asked if it would be better to be quiet and pay sound through the speakers? I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes.

That means you can indulge your own little delusions about being Ari Vaatenen whilst popping and banging your way through Bromley at 30mph in traffic without irritating everyone else.
