Who cares how fast you can go around the corner when you can do it looking out the side windows (sideways)

They sure are different rides eh? There are times when I am going with the GTO. There are other times when I'm in the Mini. Both give me pleasure and fun and isn't that the name of the game?

I was pushing around 650 hp with 4.10 gears and a dana 60 rear. I spent alot of money and time into making it one of the best around. Trust me, it would smoke that RR......

Exactly! That's the type of anguish I like to have in my life.

I have no doubt that it would
Just funny because it's a rather odd comparison and think you missed the point why people buy Range Rover's.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing when a RR was compared to a MINI earlier myself......

So I think I've hit a nerve, if so I apologize.
All I was trying to say earlier, as a new owner. I was rather surprise when my Cooper S wasn't as fast on a straight line as I thought. (despite feeling faster)

Don't know how this one uping started, but I realize it has nothing to do with this topic.
I feel like this is something that would happen in a mens locker room.

And I think we're both better then that

No, no nerve struck, thats the problem with typing, no sense of what the writers true intentions where. No big deal.....
