Be very, very aware of this car at the lights even if you

[V8HSV]

had a Bughatti Veyron

Somehow I dont think you'll have to be concentrating very hard to be aware of it

Lovely piece of kit though, would prefer that to a veyron TBH!

1971 Vectra lol, looks like a Victor to me

The only plus side to having a Veyron next to you at the lights is that you can rest assured that you wont have to be looking at its ugly arse end for too lon as it disappears. And of course there will never be the hassle of having to look at its evn uglier boat race in your rear view mirror.

That's a very cool car and a very cool owner.
Liked that.

Anyone wants to get rid of their very ugly supercar I'll gladly make space for it on my driveway. Wont even charge you that much for taking it off your hands

The Victor is a nice car bt I just love THIS with its 2000bhp twin turbo big block. LOVERLY!!!

[VXR_Daz]

It is really strange, but if I compare that with redvictor then I immediately like him more.

redvictor seems like a really great guy whereas the guy that owns this one just appears to be a total tt!

Horses for courses I guess, maybe I am just jealous

[mose]

I was looking at the motors mate nand not the drivers

[VXR_Daz]

Well, the motors? I'd be happy with either

How the do you get 2200bhp from an automatic? And how does it manage to get it all to the wheels? The torwue converter must be insanely good.


Sir, you are a genius.

It uses a PowerGlide.

4:00 approx in, when he gives it a bit of gas, watch the scenery out of the back window. Warp speed!

Ah, but think how much faster he could go with a decent manual box in there.

Ask anyone on the Porscho forum, they'll tell ya!

Can you name a manual box that will take 2k HP?
The thing about auto's (well, in most drag cars they have manual valve bodies in them) is that you dont need to lift of to change gear, so arguably they are probably faster - than a manual.

Sorry, I thought it was screaming sarcasm already, but here's your smiley - .

Anti-tiptronic rants are a regular feature on the Porker forum; try posting on there that an auto box is faster and see what happens!
