745li
341hp= 5.7 kia piccanto's
448nm = 5.2 kia piccanto's
2025kg = 1.5 kia piccanto's
Even if I could find some way to strap 6 of the little buggers together I think there might still be a power to weight problem

his is 2.5litres
Then: ok, 700700 you have a point that it isn't such an engine, but still the car has 218 hp!!!!
I come from a 530d with 193 hp and i wouldn't say the 525i is slower.
And ok, i know you can afford 'bigger cars' (like you said before) but ok, i live in Belgium = country of taxes, high petrol prices,... But i have to say i LOVE my new car!
And didn't this post has as subject kickdown?!!! so please answer my questions and not offending me with my 'lesser' engine...! This just needed to be said!

That's why I mentioned the kia picanto, which many people would still DREAM of being able to own.

Hang on. A Kia Picanto weighs 930kg so that means 2025kg = 2.2 Picantos. Despite the power to weight issue the picanto has a top speed of 155kmh. Multiply that by 2.2 = 341kmh.

Anyway, unless we can work out how to strap the little buggers together I think he'll still win.
Do you think bungee cord would be enough or something more rigid ?
