they'll probably start harrasing car manufacturers into making less powerful cars..
i've heard that suggested on the news numerous times.. the argument comes in that why are they building cars that can go in excess of 110kph when thats the highest speed limit in aus...
its bs really... if your being an idiot you can still kill yourself or someone else in a car that has sfa power...and in reality i reckon an underpowered car is more dangerous as you dont have the power you need to get yourself out of trouble at times
the issue is drivers attitudes, impatience ie taking a gap in traffic that isnt really big enuf but still going and hopeing that they will brake for you... they shouldnt have to though, you shouldnt take the gap. arrogance, thinking that you are a direct decendant from schumacher/senna/brock/lowndes etc and driving a car faster than is safe in the conditions, those guys do/did it for a living and as ilustrated by 2 of the guys i mentioned the still come unstuck and die, not your not invincible i think every learner should do a advnaced driving course and realise that a car does not always befanve as you expect once you cross the grip threshold, they should also be shown the remains of a car that hits a tree at 80kph, its scary just how little is left even of a large car like a commodore
the modded car scene will never die.... its in our genetics that we wanna go fast, gets the heart pu mping, just like sky diving etc... we get adicted to it..
dan adrenalin gets ya every time
as for blaming the p-plater laws thats thats bs as well... cordias were NEVER legal (although some people will argue otherwise) even in stock trim and there are lots of other cars out there that p platers have driven in mass that aint either
the only diference these days is that it has been reworded and the police are enforcing it much much more, the public attitude has changed, quite probably because the numbers of idiots in fast cars has increased and its more visable
as forthe camaro it looks awesome...
this is what i wanna get my hands on/build up
original would be awesome but i dare say it will be a replica
tis liek a ferrari/lambo, very few out there so the always turn heads
failing that a xc cobra like in mad max 2 would be up there 2
