I'm not really a yank tank basher but I didn't no they handled. Certainly chargers don't. Or stop.

The E30 tails off a bit towards the end, maybe his brakes have gone off.

Cool, but.

They are really big and long, really long. They sell in the $150's -200k range not 100 anymore. They were "hey look at me" when new and they haven't lost that one bit. Not a car to drive, except on the interstate really fast. A dad showed up at a T-ball game in one a few years back, and yah if you want to stop traffic. This is your car.

Agreed.
I look at this and think Star-Trek. And Star Trek is uncool.

Stock they dont.. theres a vid somewhere of its brother losing to a minivan in the slalom.

That being said with enough money you can make anything handle at least decently.

Well, the tyres alone would give the modern minivan the edge. I do believe with just a change of wheel size and tyres, the Superbird would leave the mininvan in the dust on a real track
