If the knobhead P-platers doing burnouts up and down my street every time it rains in there shitbox taxis are anything to go by, I dont want them having powerful cars with any sort of forced induction .
I dont even think they deserve any more than 4 cylinders..That said Ive had many a good time in fast fours without turbos, there is really no need for young drivers to have anything more . especially when your average lancer/corolla will do 200kph standard.Then with some head work ,maybe some flat top pistons, more compression cams.these things can really boogie if you know how to drive. And insurance companies rarely pull your engine apart so would never know...
The sooner young people realize there is much more to driving than how much power is under the hood the better, but when the front cover of every magazine screams 500AWKW on the front cover, what are kids going to think...Dont get me wrong i love these magazines, but they really should have a good think about their impression on the impressionables..
Maybe they could try glorifying budget racers more, instead of mechanical marvels with too much paint too big wheels and more power than u can really use...I for one would rather see tricks, howtos and feats of engineering than cars that are merely polished money pits..All the stories on R35 and evo 10 track cars are useless, What pecentage of people reading the magazine can actually afford these...5% maybe...Most of us are stuck with a civic or corolla, why not glorify them more instead of the cars we already know are fast
Sorry got lost excuse the rant...
