    the cops r just gettin jealous that 17 year olds have faster cars then them
    maybe thats why they hated my first car (12sec commo)!

    some of the new 4 cylinder engines can go much faster than some of the old v8's
    aint it true, i have proven it!

    Im sure that there are some quick enough NA 4 cylinder machines out there without even considering young drivers on boost.

    Yes but many of the powerful 6's and 8's have been ruled out by this law even if they arent running boost.

    It wont be long until hybrid cars hit the market, and im sure they will have lots to deliver in the perfomance industry.

    It'll be quite funny to see the prices of popular P plate cars drop, ie S4 RX7, 180sx's, Skylines etc. There will be no future generations coming through to take these of the hands of the current crop of young fellas. First gen WRX's should also come in for some rapid depreciation.

    I think these laws are a good thing. I was stupid enough in a 1.3L Mazda 808 when I was on my P's. I pushed that car as hard as it would go. I HAD to know the limits, and I think a lot of young boys think this way. I can only imagine what I would have got up to in a turbo.

    This attitude did teach me a lot about car control and respect however.

    People have died because of stupidity.

    Its never going to stop, there will always be new generations of kids coming through which are the same out of control sterotype.
    When they take out someone like your mum, your dad, your son, or your daughter im sure that you will be still saying that.

    You might think that it sucks but when you have someone that has been made a vegetable because of wreckless behaviour yoú'll know what im talking about. Its the best thing to protect young drivers from the ultimate enemy......themselves.
