It is called overcompensation

Haven't read all the answers - I can't be bothered - the reason is simple. A launch control revs the engine up to ideal RPM to Torque Ratio before setting off.
When you roll around barely at Engine idle with 5 mph it takes much longer to spool up those turbos and get a nice start. So ... Duh!

Millau Bridge, France

Let's put it in clear words. It is about the cock size. That is all!
400 is way bigger than your measly 300!
So badges are here to stay, until we Guys learn how to compensate otherwise.

Not a Car, and not real, but in GTA V there is a Dirt Bike called "Sanchez" . Dirty Sanchez ... get it? If not, ask your Parents :)

I think you are right Toni. It seems to be a Vectra

This is an Opel Omega B, to you - Michael Ballaban or any US Citizen - better known as Cadillac Catera. It has only a mechanical Steering, so there must have been something wrong with the pump. Probably almost no Oil in it. The Guy can call himself lucky, that he still has his thumbs though.

Reminds me of this:

I warmed up BBC iPlayer hours ago - maybe I can watch it almost uninterrupted :)

perfect look to turn it into a Rat-Rod.

People who buy Camrys should do that right away.. Drive it out of the showroom and straight into this mangler. And maybe take their Prius friends right with them :D

I also have somehow the Theme of Knight Rider in my Head

True, I made the Mistake and thought about Seasons. Then it was just 6 this time

You'd be forgiven for thinking that dear old Jeremy Clarkson limits himself to nothing but twelve episodes of Top Gear a year and then just loafs about the rest of the time because why not. In reality, he actually spends his days hosting other programs for British television that most Americans never see. Well, that,…

that makes it extra-funny :)

I would like to see that in San Francisco.
Our Hills would been cleared in Minutes ;)

Thank you! I just bought a Jaguar XJR. Now I finally can figure out how to fix the Trunk Release Button!

IRS? Pah! Getting an old Mustang now. Like my ride?
