I used to know a few strippers and I wouldn't call any of them "pure" but they sure were nice.

Pushing the performance on a 70 HP car! Thats a good one!

112 HP BRABUS engine is at the top of my list....

It was posted on here that the new european fortwos have an adjustable wheel as well as seats that naturally recline further without breaking a tab.
