we actually had AIR in those days to take it off the streets.....but that's another can of worms.
You may have missed my point though Son, what I'm trying to say is that when I don't drive a high powered car, I don't have anywhere near the urge to hit the loud pedal as hard, but in the GTR I do, hence why kids in turbo cars are more likely to do something silly than a kid in an under powered 4 cyl.
If you're a kid in a turbo car, you're more likely to want to drag people at the lights as opposed to being in a car that has no chance at all, not to mention that there's more chance of wanting to show off in front of the mates.
