The salespersons often give you facts and figures about the car being very fast and being very good, and it will be difficult for you to track them. So you have to look for yourself whether that car suits you. See whether you can get into the car easily. You need to check whether you are comfortable while you sit in the driver’s seat. Check for the adjustments that can be made to adjust the level of the seat to suit your requirements so that it will be easy for you to use the pedals. Some cars have the steering wheel fixed and some can be adjusted to your level. You need to check this also. If the steering wheel is fixed, see whether it is at a comfortable level for you to handle.
You can also check the seat belt to see whether it is tight over your neck or loose on your shoulders. See whether the transmission is easily accessible to you and whether you can shift the transmission easily.
Always keep in mind the job of a salesperson is to sell that vehicle to you and he might not know your exact needs, so you will have to check them out for yourself. See whether you have enough space in the trunk to keep your essentials or whatever you buy. Check the rear seat if it is suitable for the passengers who sit in the rear seat. Check whether the back seats are comfortable for your kids.
Check for the visibility while you sit in the driver seat. You must be able to see clearly over your shoulder. Have a look at the instrument panel and the dash accessories. See whether you have difficulty in reading the different gauges available. See whether they are properly illuminated and easily accessible. How about accessing your stereo system while you drive? Can you change the air conditioning while you drive? These are some of the factors that need to be checked when you are test-driving any car before you decide to buy them. Engine noise, hill climbing power, braking and suspension are the other factors that you should be looking at.

This is Mark Sheehan’s Nitro Funny Car licensing debut taken on the 23rd December at the Perth Motorplex. On the car’s first 60-foot shut-off launch, all went well with an impressive .94 short time on the sizzling hot 120-degree track. On the second launch for the day (which was meant to be a 330 foot shut-off) the head gaskets blew, and so the team packed up for the day. The car has a Victory chassis, and was originally built for John Force as a spare chassis for his team, but was never used. When the Sheehan team acquired this chassis, it was used and built as a small block Alcohol Altered, and ran as quick as 5.69 seconds on both sides of Australia. The Victory chassis was then reworked, and a great deal of effort was put into building the parts and components that were required to convert the car onto nitro, which was all done locally in Perth by the many people who helped bring the dream together to make it the reality which it is today. When the Sheehan team made the switch over onto nitromethane with the chassis, it was mated up with an ex John Force 2003 Castrol Syntec Mustang Funny Car body, which was used by Tony Pedregon to win the 2003 NHRA World Championship. The main engine components on the car were purchased from Bill Miller in America including engine blocks, cranks and manifolds, while the cylinder heads and the rest of the other parts came from the John Force Racing stables. The engine combination will produce between 7000 and 8000 horsepower once it is …
