R&T ARTICLE
I have been working so much I didn't notice the new issue of R&T that has been sitting in the basket next to the crapper in the bathroom until this morning. Found this Brabus sweet stuff! I don't mind the 20s on this one considering the 15" front rotors w/ 8pots and 974 lb.-ft. of torque at 2100 rpm!
Okay, back to work w/ me!

I can't even imagine having almost 1000 lb-ft at 2100 rpm.

The only problem is that you won't likely ever get that power to the road.
Did anyone ever see the Top Gear Brabus S V12 Biturbo Roadster.
730 hp and over 1000 lbft. (limited to 811 lbft in 1st gear)
Basically worthless around a track because when you start off the traction control just goes nuts the whole time and when you turn it off you can't turn. So to go straight you have to have the traction control off but to turn you have to have it on.
Worthless.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Sometimes, even when you know it's not the right tool, it's fun to use a sledgehammer instead of a screwdriver.

These are the times in which I sit and think about what it would be like to have more money than taste or brains.
