Hi AboutMyCar community!

I'm an amateur stunt-driver, and though I'm not patient enough to try mechanics, I would like to describe some technical and driving characteristics of my car - that's Skoda Superb Elegance 2004 2.8 V6.

Basically it looks just like a 4-door sedan, of an average 0.3 drag coefficient and an unpretentious saloon, but what is special about my Skoda is its dynamics, fairness and lightness. Its engine, a 2.8L V6, makes about 200 horsepowers, 210 torque at 3500 rpm, 145 mph maximum speed, and taking into consideration its custom sturdy suspension I ordered, its reliable vented disk brakes, its manual 5-speed transmission, its 1600 kilos weight and low repair costs - it's a very good car for performing extreme driving stunts. Other special features I installed on my Skoda was a computer-assisted power steering system and a 50-degree front wheel turning train that allow me maneuver in a very precise way.

One time when I was trying driving it along a 60-degree slope my old tires failed to maintain the grip with surface, and the car slided down to the base of the slope. My speed was still too high and it landed abruptly on its flank. Of course, the smooth enamel of its side was all scratched, but no serious dents appeared on it.

Another time I tried zigzag flag-driving, and my Skoda showed its best in keen cornering!
