I could take offence to this comment, as a V8 driver mine was rarely in a straight line.

Thats not body roll. its the car using its suspension properly, it had 400 pound srpings in the front & 200 in the rear, it was easy to induce over steer that way, sideways is the right way. Doogie |

Doogie As a previous 265 Hemi Valiant owner, I agree. On dirt, anyhow. Loved the dirt road from Hume Hwy up to Wombeyan caves...

Sorry if I caused offence 2 s'Ss Didn't mean it. Being new to Oz I really haven't been in a V8 situ !!!!!!!! Only V8's I ever came a cross in the UK were a couple of rich boy mustangs. Which held no ground against a 1750 maxi engined mini especially on the twistys we have in Scotland. So please accept my apologies By the way you had to have a few bob to be able to run V8's (Fuel prices!!!!!!) Cheers M.U. |

Naw - V8s arnt that expensive to run - we have a 308 one tonne ute and its actually quite economical provided you stay off the loud pedal. The reason is that it spends a lot of its time on country roads at 2k rpm. A load on the back makes little or no difference to the economy (within reason) We had a 2.6 litre ute and that used more petrol because the throttle was more open more often. |
