Number 2 - I was impressed by the lap time, for such a big old bus it goes round corners well.

1. Define what mph is fast in your world, Nathan? This is where i think i am misinterpreting your posts..It looks like you and me have different opinions on what's fast for that adrenaline rush. also you talk as if b road blast is completely legal.... as if there's no danger of causing a fatal accident as well...

A fast, powerful car like an M6 accelerates 0 - 150 mph in 19 seconds. You got your kicks then slow down. In a CSL going flat out it takes twice that and therefore more chance of being caught IMO.

2. Big part of GTR's success stories is acceleration 0 - xxx mph... but it is the whole package that i find... tempting. GTR makes 90% cars look useless IMHO.

On the road you can only drive to your visibility and have to consider other road users, as such there isn't a specific MPH that can be considered fast \ safe \ whatever as is constantly changes depending on visibility, traffic & road conditions.

Because of this on the road I'd rather have a car that is fun at lower speeds and feels faster than it is, my whole point is that I want the adrenaline rush without having to pin the throttle open for 19 seconds, the actual numbers aren't relevant.

let's be honest here - 50 mph is hardly a thrill, isn't it? Unless you're cycling down a steep hill!!

Seriously... To induce adrenaline rush you have to drive in a manner that you physically make some sort of effort....otherwise you're just driving. There is no other way around it.

Driving at speed limits - i can't think of anything, any car that'd give serious thrills. Superbikes - now that's an entire different story but not 4 wheels IMO.

i have been enough times in small 'fun' cars on country lanes to know that a risk of a cyclist riding two abreast or cats or whatever is always present.

CSL is a small, loud car so i can understand the attraction of it and what you're saying.... but induction noise does not come on until 4000rpm so again, we're talking speeding which theoretically speaking.... puts us in the same position really... you in CSL and Me in V10.

thanks for a sensible conversation.

Because they are shit drivers and that think to be fast from point A to B, which includes several corners, they need stupid amounts of power. When in reality they only needed a bit of talent.

i sometimes wonder what makes you tick... GT-R, Porsche Turbo, V8 M3.... not known to be slow??

oh and onto the next observation.... why would you need that crazy front negative camber for?? factory setting not good enough with such skillzzzz?? LOL
