HP figures don't tell the story. 555hp vs 420hp 690kg weight difference. 690kgs !!!! Edited August 3, 2012 by E90 M3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not all that far from you now - Masterton. They guy has 4 of them. Fast little car, can't say I would want to be seen in one though. You could paint it Yellow. Would that be hair dresser enough for you? They're very easy to make faster too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted August 6, 2012 You'd have to be very content with your sexuality to drive a Cappuccino. In saying that, I'd have one, and they're easy enough to get up to 130hp or so. Either that, or a B18C converted Honda Beat... Anyway, back to mens' cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted August 6, 2012 Mr lotus said HP makes you fast in a straight line, light weight makes you fast everywhere. something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1051 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Only real cars pull off yellow. haha! There was a yellow one here in NZ. It went to the salt flats in Bonneville and threw a rod at 13500 rpm. It was fast too! We were on a club run and I saw it eat an XR6 falcon up a passing lane - especially when they got to the corners at the top Damn funny to watch!

Anyway, back to mens' cars Haha, true. Still - it's not quite as hair-dresser as an MX5. 130 HP is REALLY easy, and pretty cheap. 180 is harder, but quite possible with a bit more cash.
