440bhp in a car that is taller than it is wide, has two live axles and doesn't come with any uprated suspension or brakes?

its cheaper to fly to switzerland if you want to kill yourself!


(side note) how do they manage to get only 440bhp out of a 6.2L v8?? Cheers, David

LS3 in a Defender??!!....That would be awesome, particularly with the properly matched 6 sp auto.
Having owned an LS engined car, I know how good that engine is,...It can be driven by the old lady "going to church on Sunday", or alternatively, in any tyre smoking guise you like!

Jomara,....Exactly!!
We see a few of those Camaros in Aus, I've ridden in one at the GM Test Track, but not driven one. All the Camaros over here are locally converted to RHD, as they are not built factory RHD,...Yet. But, the Mustang is now RHD, so we are hoping Camaro will follow suit, probably in 2017 when the "new" Camaro is built?

You got exactly my point. My 100inch has a GEN4 400bhp+ engine but it is not my first pick of the bunch for a fun drive on a Sunday despite the upgraded suspension, brakes and steering. For me there are 2 types of cars. The ones for owners who want bragging rights at the pub and cars for the ones who like to drive.....

Sad but true comment about Switzerland Crying or Very sad
