Re: Americans get shafted again....
i got to tell you guys you ain't missing out on anything with the fto > they look nice but that's about it.
when i landed a decent job a couple of years ago I thought fto straight away. Only problem was the insurance companies would not even give me a quote they are so expensive to run etc.
+ when this dream went belly up I bought a standard 200 bhp normally aspirated 2 litre vvti MR2. After owning that car for like a month i soon was glad i didn't buy the FTO as I was killing them left right and centre on the roads. They do not live up to their stats claims. just my 2 cents
Also the pulsars are more trouble than they are worth! And they look tacky when modified!

Re: Americans get shafted again....
On the subject of getting screwed in the UK. Don`t forget speed cameras all over the place. Just so police can get more cash.
