The Motor Forum

I guess it depends on circumstances - I get 28mpg on fast (you know how fast) motorway runs, over 30 at 70ish and low 20's around town or flooring it on the back roads.

I think the RX8 does low 20's at best?

This is called Dieselcarforum though

Theyre RWD? Hmm, serious advantage in its favour, never drove RWD apart from a bit in my dads mercs, and a couple of transits.

Spend 200 quid on a Sierra and learn RWD before you get a 200+ Bhp RWD car...

Well the RX8 is a 1.3 technically so should be ok!

The 3.5 V6 in the 350Z has over 200lb ft of torques and as high as about 280 in the last-of-the-line models that received the bonnet bulge and LED tails.

EDIT: I see 'hims' reply was to Blarno not Tim

Group 16 is nothing. Blue Frog is group 16 and that only costs me 350 notes FC.

Try group 19 and an import

That equals £750.

If the GTA had been a UK car it would only cost £350 -£400.

Insurance groups ain't necessarily as bad as they seem.

Go for the RX8 before they make it illegal.

Mine spits flames from the exhaust sometimes, does that count as "emissions"?

Flames should be compulsory and available in a special Prious overtaking mode, along with corrosive soot emissions.

My Mi16 was ace for flames. I overtook a mate on a bypass in 3rd gear at full chat and he says 2 quality flames popped out when I changed up.

I can do filthy black soot from the Coupe but the best ever was my Shogun diesel.

If I had a tailgater I could make his whole car disappear

I don't get any flames from mine but i think this mountune conversion adds rice crispies to my exhaust as it now crackles and pops, no snapping though.
