you're right.
the same in Austria, and it's damn expensive. I own my driver license for a year now and it was pretty tuff
The scariest part is that they hand an international license to anyone for 10 bucks and they can drive anywhere they want.
On another note:
RadialPrincess said:Sigh....
I run in a class that is mandated by factory suspension, and limited to a radial tire, not a slick. I am the fastest female in the world on a radial tire, and the fastest pass EVER on a radial is only 7.97, which incidentally, is a fox Mustang with a turbo as well.
Powerglide transmissions are the norm for all of these type race cars, and it was a joke. None of them are the originals that came in your standard car.
As far as non-stroked motors in the 7's, I check the record, and the fastest stock bore/stroke/block combo with a power adder is nowhere NEAR the 7's. 10 years ago, the fastest Mustangs in the world were using Windsor stroked powerplants. In fact, in 1994, Billy Glidden was the first in the 7's with a 7.99 at the Motorsport Nationals with a Crawford 400 inch nitrous injected windsor... not the 302 powerplant.
But what do I know?
I do however have to admit that from the factory... the new Z06 and the new Cobra are a very tight race.
Are you from the south? You could be related to my brother.
