How fast is too fast?

[terribleturner]

kind of a different question but do any of the BPU peeps use their car as a daily driver...?

I do And when the singles on i will continue to use it as a daily drive.

 

I always thought when i got my car in it's standard form that it was already fast and i wouldn't do any upgrades. 2 years later here i am, on the edge of sticking a single on

 

Too fast is when you don't feel confident behind the wheel anymore.

A car is never to fast it will only go as fast as you tell it to.

 

That is very true, in that respect a 1000bhp monster would be fine but it does rely on two things:

 

absolute self control

a sensible power delivery (i.e. unpredictable surges in power are asking for trouble and could catch you out)

 

given that, anything goes

In all the years on teh track and the UK roads, 500-600 is enough any more useless!

Mine has been a daily driver for eight years (been single for five)

It does have a lot to do with the composure and attitude of the car- my mates Cerbera has about 330-350bhp, certainly no more than that, and unless you are on the motorway, and it's bone dry and smooth, you can't use full throttle- ever. The back just wants to over take the front all the time. My Supra would waste it on a B or small A road, and probably a major A road too infact.

 

I was also a passenger in a 996X50 at Bruntingthorpe- that car is the 'absolute' of useability, even with 450bhp - a chimpanzee could drift it, with one hand. A Tamora I drove felt like it could take another 50bhp, yet a Tuscan with the same bhp felt over engined and completely scarey, as did a 993TT that was modified and stripped out.

 

I would mention how awesome Tel's car is, but I say it every week and I wouldn't want people suspecting him of posting me £50 notes every day (or worse).
