i picked up my new coupe today

i used to think 1200's were good but i didnt realise they had so much potential to be so much better

this thing is awesome

It goes
It stops
and It turns

and does all of them damn well
i was tonking through a mountain like curvey road and the turn in was phenomonal, i was braking and then turning throught the corner at high speed but still i could have gone through sooo much quicker

ahh its great

GO-THE-DATTO you gotta come see this thing, its inspiration plus

oh and bring your digi cam so i can share the pics

ok then. sounds good
Also sounds like it would put my datto to shame in the stopping and handling department.
I havent got around to putting the front sway bar back in yet. and when the bloke who tuned it went for a run he said it was scary.Im use to it
I started asking about go fast bits and he said "NO" get the stopping and handling bit working first...
Maby he is rite

definately!

i noticed your a little slack in those two departments

my ute would beat it you know the utes went quicker and turn on 10cent pecice

But nothing turns better than a 1200 with stock wheels and tires
