I nearly had a chance for the 100th car to be an Aston Martin DB7.

DOH! That woulda been nice.  My mate got a ride in the vantage and it puuurrrrred.  There's an Aston dealership across the road from work and every lunchtime, an aston screams out of the dealership.  presumably a saleman otw to lunch.

back in the day a mate took me for a drive in his 13b turbo Mazda R100. it weighs about 700kg and had just under 500horses.... i just about shit myself.
it was far from stable and not safe! which is what made it such a rush, a modern car with massive power just doesnt have the same effect.

I had a series 1 RX7 with a J-Port, it was abnormally quick. Beat heaps of worked 308's.
The one that stands out the most was my mates Mazda R100 with a Maztech Extend port 12A Turbo and all the works and then some. Peter Brock shook his head at this car and said "You don't seriously drive that thing on the street do you?" Right after that he signed the windscreen.
The guy above knows how rediculously fast these tiny cars go. Many times did I hear people say Holy crap wtf was that!

Driven most of the new Porsche's around Sandown race track and on the road. 997 Turbo is scary fast
even when your in control of it.
I guess there are some benifits of working at Porsche :-)

Yeah well, on the other hand i'm one of the losers who has to work at the motorshow this year.

I caught a ride home once in a mate's R33 GTR. Never forget how I got pushed in the seat when he put his foot down in that thing.

R33 GTR. (street registered)

RB26 stroked.

T88 turbo @1.8 bar of boost

6 x 1200CC injectors with two external fuel pumps in the boost.

Not sure how much power he was running but i believe it would have been around 500KW AT 4 wheels.


It felt like a plane taking off when he floored it except i got pinned to the seal like i was on a roller coaster.

It was a scarry feeling....you hear nothing apart from the exhaust and the hissing from the turbo
