Re: What is the most powerful car you have driven + details of most memorable drag ba It's painful to watch :eek: You can practically see the needle drop just sitting in stop-start traffic :haha: But i'm sure you'll agree, the running costs are so worth it :tongue:

Re: What is the most powerful car you have driven + details of most memorable drag ba C63 AMG. You don't drag on your L's :P (the crap people give you though.... lol) Without being cocky, most of the time it's not worth your time, someone in a Civic Type-R or even a VE SS comes up next to you...

Hey Shoom, Hope you're enjoying the 9500, with all the benefits you get with BIS. I've got a (Vodafone branded, unlocked) Storm2 9520 imported from Vodafone UK which has recently had signs of having a Vodafone AU release in the coming months. Give us a yell if you need a hand with setting...

That should read stability control in my last message :P Traction control (TC) is exactly that, it varies the amount of power that comes from the engine if it detects too much power will be sent to the wheels, causing the wheels to spin (lose traction). The Yaris is a driven by the front wheels...

rozymisty, In my personal opinion, if your main goal is to just get from A to B then either would be fine. However because you're weighing up the pro's and con's of both, I think it is important as a driver to be confident in what you're driving, regardless of some benefits one model may have...

:D I can respect that, it's an impressive piece of machinery. You kinda get the whole M3 torque output in the C63 at some stupidly low figure like 3-4,000RPM though :tongue: At least the M3 should go easier on tires haha, maximum use of a set of C63 rears with electronics on all the time is...

It's fun a few times then when you get stuck in traffic (well anywhere you can't build up enough engine speed) the novelty wears :p But I can understand why, it's a real screamer (love the rapid sounding bumbly V8 from the exterior) and when pushed hard, you'll be laughing at the C63 :tongue...

lol :rofl: I think the other issue with extra safety would be cost. I can't imagine bits fitted to a F1 car would be cheap. It's my least commonly driven car, a weekend car :tongue: I started off in a Lexus RX330 which (well very obviously :haha:) is a very different car and the confidence...

C63, hence why I'm contemplating an attempt at obtaining an exemption, yes I'm still on my L's. Maybe its because of my limited driving experience that I have less urge to punt around 50+ kays above every speed limit I see because when I drive, sure sometimes its fun to pop the gearbox into...

Agree, but that wasn't what I was getting at. I was getting at the Police Force' attitude to the situation. That if you can afford a nice car, you can afford to hire another car. Just with regards to the "badge" on Euro cars, the Government probably has a similar outlook on the situation, if...

A flaw that is, in the Government's opinion "life threatening". You're correct about the modifications. Any "performance" modifications aren't allowed. I've wondered about upgraded brakes though.... I respect your opinion with regards to the C63, as you said, accidents happen and it's not hard...

I've seen a surprising number of WRX's on the road (legit one's, not RX's with kit) with P Plates on them. Funny you should mention that actually Azamakumar because the Police force seems to think otherwise. Have you seen that news article on that recently impounded Lamborghini? According to...

Hmm that's odd, so they do give them out based on a "high performance vehicle" rather than vehicle specifics. When they said for work/country use I was thinking you know, V8 Cruiser but apparently not haha. As for C63, yeah probably, but who said you have to drive it like you stole it? There...

Fair enough, thanks Azamakumar. I partially agree with you there (200km/h :p) but these cars are also very easy to appreciate under normal driving conditions. Especially your big block V8's, the amount of usable power for everyday driving is astonishing (and so is the fuel consumption :()

Out of curiosity, on what basis did your mate get the exemption? I'm thinking of attempting to get one for a C63. Now before anyone bad mouths me, it's for safety reasons. Say on a family road trip between Sydney and Melbourne, is it not better to have two drivers to split the drive load? That...

Some Aurion facts - Shares the same engine as the Lexus XX350 models :D Has crap steering (very numb, no communication, too light) Assuming you're looking at the Presara, comes loaded with goodies that you'd find in the Lexus IS250 (in fact more, unless you get an option pack with navigation...
