OMG OMG OMG...
One of my friends at work has a Mitsubishi Evo VII that is souped up to the max (350bhp or something silly) and today he took me out for a spin in Crawley on some quiet roads. Despite the power it's actually a very practical car, roomy on the inside and doesn't really look flash or attention grabbing to those who don't know what it is. The interior is functional and tidy and doesn't look like a racing cockpit compared to my other friends (also a colleague) Mitsubishi FTO. All in all its a very, very nice car looks-wise, sleek yet understated.
Anyway that's by the by, on to the performance. Let me just say I've never been in any sort of really fast car, in fact the fastest I've ever been in his mates Saab 2.0l convertible, nippy but not exactly a muscle machine.
So we got out on to quiet little stretch and he put his foot down and I xxxx you not it was like being on a jumbo jet at takeoff I was thrust back in my seat and I let out a yelp reminiscent of a four-year-old girl who's just seen her doll beheaded by her evil brother. Simply unbelievable, I have never experienced anything like it, we got up to 130 mph in what seemed like a few seconds, and while many of you are probably shaking your head about now it was so momentous I felt I had to share it.
I now have the taste for a muscle car like that and I think I will save up for two years and get my no claims bonus, then splurge on something similar.
Did anyone else feel like that when they tasted their first dose of real car speed?
