yeah i did read ur "previous" post...
sure the car gets to the speed limit just fine on 100kw...
and with that there is not much reason to have 200kw...

but also, a lot (i dont know "official" numbers...maybe 90%) of people only see cars as a means of transport...not for enjoyment, and thus they dont give any thought to driving...
which is problem number 1...but yeah...
for a lot of the interested people...power is just wank factor...
much like penis size...esp old ppl who drive wat they think is a fast car...volvos, VK's, landcruisers...the all look down upon me
and then the echo has shut them down...
funny...sad....but true..

and yes...the echo is very fuel echonomical...ahem...

550kms from 35L odd (45L tank)...week in, week out...111000kms (2 years) and still perfect...actually...when the car was factory standard i was only getting 450kms from a tank...and using 40L...waiting till the light was flashing empty b4 filling up...
more power, more economy...i look down upon a whole lotta other cars Smile

but no..i dont like to race people...sure i take off fast from lights etc...but as soon as someone thinks he wants to race me, i go light footed...and oh...look...u won the race...damn...i must suck...
if i want to have some real fun, i go out west, late at night...
no houses, no cars...just tarmac and trees...and hills...but i dont see much of that in the dark...

that may seem a bit off topic...but i see it as improving my reflexes and knowledge of the cars "characteristics"
i dont want to be jamming on the brakes, locking the wheels up, and slamming into something...i want to be able to slow down as quickly and controllably as possible, still being able to steer out of harms way, and hopefully be able to drive away from whatever it was...
the odd suicidal wallaby or rabbit keeps me on my toes too...bastards...only hit one so far...at about 20kph...after getting on the brakes...shoulda seen it slide down the road...like it was at wet-n-wild Surprised Laughing

and damn...thats enough from me...so many thoughts...so little time... Confused
