I choose.......bed-time.Work in the morning, clearly nobody cares for GM any more, or muscle cars. A small part of the reason I'm not tuning much any more, because I like to tune muscle cars and not many people drive them.
Yeah, It shows why GM is going broke.
I choose bed time too. I was actually a bit surprised to see no-one racing this tonight, I was doing EYS 8 all night because no-one was racing. Tonight the online racing was dead, so everyone was doing TT comps.BTW, You're tune in this car is excellent. I like this combo because you can just drift soooo easily, especially with your tune. That's part of the reason why I like GM muscle cars actually, because they sound fantastic and they slide easily.

I like GM muscle cars because they sound fantastic, look fantastic, go like the clappas in a straight line and can even do well around corners (unlike one British pompus would have you believe *Cough* Clarkson *Cough*). Plus they are directly related to Holden (if we're not talking about a Holden), Australia's own car.

Yeah, I love GM V8's because of how fast they are in a straight line. I remember watching a specific race at Oran Park between a Porsche GT3 cup car and a Classic Revival Cobra with 700hp. The Porsche would pull away through the corners, and the Cobra would just round him up on the main straight. But by the end of the race the Cobra's tyres were absolutely shot because of getting on the power early and powersliding out of corners, it was awesome to watch. It's not a GM car but that's mainly why I love V8's, they sound awesome and they aren't boring. Better get back on topic now.
And yes Clarkson does tend to bag out Holden's a bit. They are excellent handling cars too. But have you also noticed that every time the stig does 'the lap' in a Holden, it's been done in the wet. That annoys me, it doesn't give a good indication of how fast it can really go.
Anyway, i'd be up for some GM fun on Saturday night if anyone esle is up for it?

I should hopefully be around Saturday night for some awesomeness.
The other thing with Holdens and Top Gear UK is Clarkson's bit is done in the dry, then they wait for rain or something?
PS- I think we should play our pool game Friday afternoon/night.
