      Need to point one headlight up in the air (like an old rally car) so under heavy braking it will shine on the road.

      A fire-breathing 175hp pushes this beast to a blistering 15.9 second quarter mile lol! Pretty cool, even though I forget just how cheesy everything was back then. It also sounds more like an add than an unbiased "test".
