The slingshot efect from the jap cars is mostly due to them having no power or torque off boost, so when it does come on boost, it feels even more powerfull than it is.

Thanks for the update, Deb. Have always liked those Cressidas. They are underrated and can be made into real sleepers.

Oh yeah, dont get me wrong, I love Jap cars, thats just why they feel so fast. A mates R32 GTSt was quick as, 160kw and felt like a 250 kw falcon.

The weight or lack there of helps and the small size makes them feel faster. But yes the "rush" as the turbo/ power comes on song really is fun
