Ok, back on topic.... :010:

I have nothing against running a $90 motor for light bashing and messing around. I have a 9L I plan to run in my old emaxx for a play truck to entertain the kids etc.

It's the hardcore bashing and racing that demands a better more efficient motor. imo....

btw, the exotics like Lambos and Ferraris and Bugattis (sp?) don't appeal to me because they are untouchable.... regular guys will never have one. And some others like Lotus etc that are stripped down carbon fiber race cars more than a real road car.

Edit: oh man I drifted off topic again.... :007:

I actually like the Z06..I'd quite happily drive one of them. Although my insurance company might balk at the thought :007: They're pretty rare over here, don't know if they even sell them. The Viper is a bit meh though, for a start I don't think I'd even fit into the damn thing! :)

Boys and fast cars a never ending thread...

But first to the topic of this thread:
I ran a feigao in my maxx and for the future in my 1:8 buggy. They are really good motors for their price but if you have the bugdet i would go for the NEU. I don't test one yet (not yet:010: ) but they should accelerate like the Plettenberg motors and these motors rock.


And now to the big "toys":

I already drove an AUDI RS4 it's hard to explain the feelings but my heart-beat was up to 200...

My dream car for which i never will have enough money to buy one is the porsche 911 turbo. It's a masterpiece of german engineering and i my eyes packed up in a very sexy body.


I'm not so keen about the BMW's because we have strong winters here with a lot of snow and it's always funny to see when the BMW drivers stick in the snow and i outrun them with my audi quattro:005:

The subaru and mitsubishi are the poor man's porshe/audi ...(all wheel drives) maybe that's a better comparison. LOL

Maxxler, how old are you?

18:o

I got my driving licence october last year...

the audi isn't complete mine originally it's the car from my mum but i use it too when i need it.
Having a car myself would "a bit" expensive for me:025:

Go for a Shelby Mustang or a Z06 Vette. Both offer outstanding "bang-for-the-buck", uniques looks, outrageous power, and great handling. The Mustang also offers nearly unlimited upgrade potential and power can be increased to over 600hp with minor uprades (pulley, flash tune, CAI, etc.)

Audi's..I love Audi cars. Used to have an '83 Audi 90 with a 5 cyl in, good fun to drive. Very easy to squeeze some extra power out the engine, even if it wasn't a blindingly fast car in the first place it was good fun. Had some great fun in a beat up Quattro from around the same age as well, it just wouldn't die no matter what you did to it.

Scooby's (Subaru's) are pretty popular down where I live, no doubt due to the 4WD. Some of them engines sound pretty nice too.

Rtsbasic, Z06's should be pretty common over there. I believe around half of them are goin to Europe...

Hmm, not in my small part of the world they're not. I saw a couple last time I passed through London, but none down south. Everyone down here seems to drive a scooby, land rover or ford focus.

i'm very glad someone said something about a mustang, my dad has a '99 GT pushing about 300hp at the rear wheels. i would love to have a '89-'93 fox body mustang GT in black..............:004:

...... any way, i agree that the xl's are very good motors for the price, but personaly i would like a neu my self.

correct me if if i'm wrong, but feigao has C,B,A class xl's right? is the 540xl a B class motor? and how would the A class xl compare to a neu? :032:

Erm, C/B/A's? Car/boat/plane?

I would presume the 540C-*XL motors are a B or C.

I'm glad this thread came up because I was on the fence about which motor to get. Sounds like the Neu is the way to go.
By the way, how in the world do you pronounce Feigao?

When I say Feigao it come out more like fer-igo.

fe-gouw' (like "ouw" that hurt) how the heck do you spell ouch without the "ch"? hee hee
