Enjoy





With all that added weight you think it even hits 60 before the 1/4 mile is up?

Nice Murcielago. If there has ever been a Toyota that was more in need of a stuck accelerator, please do tell.

Nah Marc, even a stuck throttle wouldn't help the Prius. When you are slower off the light than people in walkers, there isn't much that'll help

Besides the wheels, it looks okay to me?

Kind of remind me of Mazda 3.

Indeed. I presume a 2000ft cliff drop is in order?

Now you're talking, it would at least make that thing faster because I bet it drops faster than it accelerates

At least the car will finally feel what acceleration really feels like before it falls to it's fiery doom.
