Yep four cylinder turbo spots cars pull faster than a school boy.They have that very sharp short power range that throws you back into your seat at high rpm.Even though bigger v8 and v6 powered cars may have more power and acceleration they also tend to have a very gradual power curve giving them a very smooth and not very fun to drive feeling.With cars like the wrx they have a very sporty hard suspension system making them very easy to control and you can really feel the road.You really have to have experienced it to understand.I got to drive a new sv mustang with 350hp but it didnt go as nice as a suby does.It probably went at about the same pace(except for traction,and it was in a straight line) But it just had no wow factor.You dont even feel like its accelerating in comparison.
If i was to choose a car for my material thing. I would probably go with the new porsche carrera gt.

Its a head turner and its a racer.It has lots of power, weighs next to nothing, its durable (check out the Ceramic Composite Clutch), sound like a f1 car and very importantly it has status symbol apeal.Id have to say its nicer than a new shiney cresta even.
I find it hard to choose a material thing though.I love the sea but all my experience is with motor boats not sail.It would be nice to have a 120ft sail boat.However having about a 100ft motor yacht would also be nice.I could imagine having a rather nice lifestyle cruising for a while.If i was to go the way of travelling the world i would go by sail.Its much smoother and a hellova lot more peicefull.However froma stay in new zealand and do what i know sort of thing a 60ft motor would do me.That would allow plenty of game and sport fishing.but would be useless for overseas travel.I could do charters though meaning its also a source of income.AHHHHH i just dont know.
I am half trained after all as a second officer on large ships eg:cruise, container, oil
Heres a phot of a phot album with a few pics of a marlin i caught when i was 13.It was only a small 80kg stripped marlin so it was taged and released.
