StylesM5 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) How are they too drive round town? Pretty wide.Both of us have since sold them <sigh>It was a sensational car in that it was pretty docile and easy to drive around town but turned into a beast at 4200rpm when the intake shortened up and you got a kick in the back and the intake noise took on a real snarl. The Turbines were a real toss up. Cool in that they actually directed air through the brakes to assist with cooling. Looked like you had 15" wheels with white sidewalls though when the rims got dusted up. Edited July 24, 2007 by StylesM5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
