Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

[Leif]

Rhun, Legildur, you guys better be careful starting a conversation about cars in a thread where Scotley is to be found! Trust me, you don't EVEN want to get him started!

 

[Legildur]

Warning heeded!!

 

[Scotley]

Too late! We get our Holden's in Pontiac guise up here. With GM phasing that line out, I'm not sure what will happen to them. I can't really see their performance sedan fitting in as well as a Chevy or Buick.

 

[Rhun]

I think GM has kind of gone the Cadillac route with the performance sedans of late, haven't they?

 

[Legildur]

We don't have any locally produced 2-door doorslammers anymore. We did have the Monaro being exported to you guys as the Pontiac GTO? (as Scotley pointed out), but that is now gone. The default Australian-built performance cars are the 4-door, rear wheel drive family cars, but punching out about 420 hp from a V8, usually through a 6-speed manual box.

Ford over here have an awesome 250ci turbo six in the same body that absolutely steams along punching out buckets of torque in a flat curve from less than 2000RPM to nearly 5000RPM - we used to own one and they are a fantastic family car capable of covering the quarter mile in under 14 seconds in stock form.

... punching out about 420 hp ...

That's a lot of hit points. Must be related to a dragon, or something.

That would be pretty sweet. I've got a supercharged 383 in my '85 Corvette, and it puts out somewhere between about 425-450. Now if I just had the cash to do everything else I wanted to do to the car. Since I bought a house, it tends to take precedence over my cars.

Sounds nice! Anytime you have a family car that can run a sub 14 second quarter, that's pretty sweet!

I'm sure the engine rumbles like an angry dragon.

I've got a MINI Cooper. Everything else is too big.

Is it the Mini Cooper S?

Is it the Mini Cooper S?

Nope. Wife doesn't drive manual, and its been a while for myself. Automatic wasn't an option when I got it.
