What do you think of this:

Doesn't look very special right? Well, it has a 320-hp Porsche engine inside. :D

... and no suspension to really take care of the power I recon ... sorry, but I wouldn't want to ride those horses to the max ...

Don't judge just by the looks of something! ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if his suspension is better than mine. BTW, this is a picture from the Nuerburgring (of course ;) ) and the bus is FAST! I didn't have the chance to be a passenger for a lap though...

Well, it has at least an independent rear suspension :lol:

I reached once 170kmh (and redline) with my stock T3 (96hp) and was still able to control it ;)

A friend of mine has one of those,
he also has a separate switch for the brake light installed.
When somebody flashes from behind on the Autobahn to
make him move over, he turnes this switch, and while the
drivers behind him slam the brakes, he speeds up and
with this porsche-hp is gone before they realize what's
going on...
