4cyl Falcon - Thoughts and Reviews?

[FGII-XR6]

what you need to consider is that P platers are statistically a much higher risk and in days when they could drive powerful cars this risk was even greater.
You can't single out some p platers and allow others to drive what they want. for this to work you would need to know in advance who was going to drive their performance car in a dangerous manner obviously this can't be achieved so the next best thing is not allowing novice drivers to drive performance cars.
like I said before it is like aircraft the won't allow a new pilot to fly a 747 or FA18 they need to gain more experience first, and bear in mind that in a car the chances of something going wrong are greater due to the close proximity of other vehicles. A P plater ( really a learner who is allowed to drive solo ) needs to gain required skills while protecting themselves and others, this isn't about what these some whinging kids want this is about public safety and if solo learners ( lets call a spade a spade) are upset bad luck

By banning P-platers from driving cars with a certain number of cylinders (or above a certain power to weight ratio), they're effectively punishing the majority for the sins of a few.
