Hey Gustav,

Carefull on that mountain bike.:eek:

I actually raced a truck believe it or not. It is a 1990 Toyota truck. Standard cab, standard bed. Really light, I had it weighed in at about 2700 lbs. I had all the suspension work done (as much as you can do to a truck anyway) lowered, big anti-sway bars ect. The motor is a fully built supercharged/nitrous oxide nothing left stock (that I can think of) 4 cyl. Yes 4 cylinder. It's putting out an estimated 350hp. I am only running about 10lbs of boost is why the horsepower numbers dont seem bigger for everything I have done. Some of these guys with 4 cylinders and turbo are putting out well over 1000hp! Those are drag cars of course which I also use to do with my truck.
I did not race circuit when I did road racing. It was an old airport strip that they converted into a road course. Pay an entry fee, tell them what you are driving and they would put you in a class. I only did that course twice though.

Yeah that Saturn rally car was pretty interesting. Saturn sold him that car for only $1 and sponsored him for a season or two?
Saturn was actually the first coupe (modern coupe anyway) to come out with suicide doors back in 1999. They dont sell Saturns in the UK do they?

Your dream car.....Looks like an early to mid eightys quattro?
