    The Cobra brakes are quite capable of handling the job. Power has nothing to do with the brakes, anyways. It's all about momentum. Actually its a '96 GT with an '03 Cobra motor (and big ass Kenne Bell unit, obviously) and trans; might have swapped in the Cobra brakes too, I dunno...doesn't say

    As a landlord myself I can tell you it is not smart to buy a $200,000 house to rent out. People renting out big houses are not usually there for long. I have a big house like that I rent out and 3 smaller houses in not so nice neighborhoods. The big house was my last house, and rather then selling it we decided to rent it out. We found that it sits vacant and rolls over more then the others. People renting these houses are usually those who have had an issue in their main home, such as a fire or whatnot, that requires them to be out of their house for a few months, or people building houses in that area and wanting their kids to warm to the schools before hand, etc. They are just very temporary renters. The smaller houses rent quickly, as they are cheap, and they are in areas where the average renter can't afford to move real quick, you know first and last months and paying for a moving truck is a struggle. Yeah, maybe it seems cold renting to people who simply can't afford to leave, but it is business. And if you live in a college town you can make quite a sizeable sum of dough as a side business renting out small little houses

    About the only reason I can come up with for spending 30 grand extra (Ultimate 112 stickers for ~48k USD) for a car with less interior room, comparable fuel mileage, negligibly better acceleration, and inferior crash safety.

    its called the Brabus Ultimate 112; basically they added about 30 horse to the engine (for a total of 112 PS/110 HP), added a widebody kit, custom upholstery, and 18's. Its fast enough to sprint to 60 in less than 10 seconds!

    How do I get into that? Well obviously I don't, but how would someone who would fit in a normal smart car get in. Either way I need one. *edit: with turbos my dad's coworker has one and he's a good 6'4"...you can probably squeeze into it...
