lol good point. if you are flying around like a nutter in any car and you arent all that good a driver, sooner or later youll end up in hospital.

i know the capabilites of the cars, and how deadly they could potentially be, and i wouldnt be driving like an arsehole in one.

160bhp isnt slow. does over 140mph. Faster than an XE corsa.

Much faster than your celica.
