What's your rush?

good pickles are, eat them u shall! - Definatley not yoda

Are you sure you want to build one yourself? You'll need to use certain brand parts though, or the rims won't fit, and if you make custom rims the tires won't fit. And the steering column is pretty complicated.

Well, I don't know - ever hear an injured dog howl?

 

[MazKid]

Yes I have M5, and it's a saddening thing.

However I see no relation between the 2 unless you named a dog MPV or Multiple Purpose Viehicle

he was referring to the fact that an MPV at full song is quite boring.

an NSX at 9000 rpm, however... same thing applies to a 360 Modena, or a Lamborghini Diablo

 

[sn00pie]

I think what M5 means is that an MPV V6 sounds like crap. Or a crying dog for that matter.

*hint*

exactly what i meant

i must say that turbo V8s burning methanol at nearly 15,000 rpms have a nice sound too... i can't hear ****e since this morning!

 

[MazKid]

He has never heard a MPV at full power and RPMs...it's a beautiful thing...

ever heard a Ferrari at full revs? that's a beautiful thing. not a V6 engine from a minivan...

 

[MazKid]

No punk, I haven't. But for a minivan, the MPV is the best.

 

[-Fred-]

not at all... it's not even close to the Daimler Chrysler twins, the Sienna and the Odyssey. it's too small, and not powerful enough.

sometimes your blind "patriotism" for Mazda surprises me...

 

[MistaX]

Minivan at full revs?

RENULT ESPACE F1!

agreed that the F1 is quite impressive, but have you seen a regular Renault Espace? pretty boring.

 

[MistaX]

We dont have any Renaults over here.
The last Renault I've seen was a LeCar

Is this the same MPV with the four-speed automatic?

you wouldn't want to laugh at one of these, though... R5 Turbo (240hp, RWD, think of it as the ancestor to the Clio V6)

 

[MistaX]

Thats a nice lookin lil car..

I'ed take it

 

[Ryan2]

There's nothing like the feeling that you get when you shift your pickle into 5th gear.........

You forget mid-engined!!

 

[MazKid]

Punk...I sorta meant out of the ones I've been in. Also meant the early '90s when the Odessy wasn't good.

And M5, I've explained many times, the MPV V6 was only availible in the US with the automatic. In Canada, they had 5 speeds.

But, I think that you could make a US MPV a 5 speed with a 929 5 speed trans...My mom is the main driver of it, and she doesn't like manuel.

 

[made in holland]

i voted handling. Nothing better then keeping a high HP beast under perfect control

 

[GTO_VR4]

pickles?

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Speed, definatly speed

 

[sn00pie]

Peanut butter.

 

[Max Powers]

Handling...nothing like flying around 90+ degree turns on deserted back roads

 

[Dudebusta]

acceleration, you can have your top speed and handling but if i dont get a good thump back into my seat when i tromp the throttle, itsa no good louigi.

 

[Ryan2]

Thank you Mr. MazKid.

 

[f1king]

Handle babeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[Duke]

What use are acceleration and speed if you can't control them?

Next time you build a 1000+ hp monster, and then wonder why it isn't very fast around the racetrack, ask yourself that question...

 

[Puffy]

Acceleration is a rush, starting out so fast that your head gets stuck against the seat.
