A family friends son is about to get off his Ls and onto his Ps..
his parents have an EL falcon futura with the 157kw 4.0 i6 motor. Completely stock, they may have bought it new. Car is in great condition. they want to give him the car and they will buy something new. I suggested that as safe as they are, 157kw is a fair bit of power to give to a young fella with little experience. Then as young ones do they mod the car a bit for some more grunt. Their mates will no doubt have commodores which they have to race. These cars can get pretty dangerous if driven irresponsibly, you cant really teach maturity to a young guy so maybe they should rethink giving him the car. To add to that they are pretty thirsty and he wont get too far with it working a casual job whilst going to uni next year. I suggested maybe a ford focus or festiva, but giving them 157kw up front can leave them in trouble more ways than one. am I being alarmist? Is the ef-au 157kw i6 too much for a young inexperienced driver full of testosterone? |

Is the 157kw ef-au i6 enough to get a young guy in big trouble?
