Hard to keep from grinning - have just driven the most powerful car I’ve ever driven for about 120kms. <grin> Don’t know all the details, but it sounds really nice, <grin> & goes like the proverbial sh*t off a shovel. <grin again>. It’s a 2009 Holden SS ute with a V8 Chevy motor, fully chipped & tuned & only has 35,000kms on it. Just the noise it makes on idle is really sweet. Sits on the legal limit at around 1600rpm but kick it down a couple of gears (it’s an auto) & it just flys, & sounds wonderful doing so. <More big grins>. I was doing a mate a favour relocating the vehicle for him so was pretty conservative in my driving. This car would break traction on command but I didn’t try. I did have to work hard at not making myself a target for a speeding fine, so used the cruise control much of the time. However when a d*ckhead decided to sit behind me right up my klacker at 103kph I couldn’t resist pushing the go pedal a little more. <grin grin grin>. The motor howled as it changed down a couple of gears, the distance between him & I rapidly widened as I was pushed back into my seat. In what seemed like just an instant I was just a tad short of 170kph & it felt like there was plenty more there. Pity I have to give it back. It’ll be up for sale soon, but I’m way too sensible for such a machine.
