If you want brute Horse Power get you a second hand police cruiser.
You'll be able to smoke the casings for 30 yards, get to 120 mph by the
70 yard line and stop before you hit the goal posts.
Cost about $2000.00 US.
They will get about 21 around town and 24 mpg on the highway at 75 nph.
Yo! ? Anybody out there happy with their VW Van besides me.
