Depends what you're doing, a V6 can be just as powerful as a V8 and more economical.
Sure the power comes at higher revs, but with the right knowhow, everything is much cheaper.

Overall, cars like these have more advantages, such as weight and a something like a V6 (which you'll commonly find in smaller cars) is more balanced overall.

Weight can be a big factor in handling, heck, the recent corvettes still use LEAF SPRINGS! Horse and carriage anyone?

yeah, but when people in the US mod them, they lower them for street use, which destroys their rally pedigree makes me sad

Stadard Corsa -


Carzone Bodykit -



I think the kitted version looks nicer, it's still smooth but has agressiveness, looks more of a factory standard kit if anything. Of course, something like that is only good if you have performance as well.

if it was an essex bloke, it would be a ford escort (or a fiesta xr2i for the lads)

That's the problem, modding over here has a bad rep like that because all the pikey tards do it wrong (just like you have ricers in the US)

I'd rather have a well modded car than a standard one, but only if it was done right (no his and hers window stickers).

And as for the tennis shoes... they all wear fake burberry gear now.
(Over there it's fashion, over here, all the pikey girls and boys wear it, personally, at first I thought it was different, but now EVERYONE wears the stuff, I can't stand it)

Is it just me or does the stock looks much better...
