Thread: puma ??

You do realise that Grover is just protesting the lack of attention he's getting because of that tow-truck whore, Matilda.
They have feelings you know.

And as for acceleration. It has a 6.2L V8 coupled with a VERY low ratio gear box and transfer case therefore huge torque and quite decent acceleration. Up to about 60kph after that yes a a small fluffy dog can run faster. I know for a fact that I can't leave my Puma in a great cloud of desiel smoke from a standing start.

They are an awesome vehicle and have earnt an unfare reputation because of so many idiots in bling civilian vehicles trying to look too cool for school.

Cheers,

Yours must be different to the one I spent a day in.It was a slug that could not keep up with traffic.As for the seating I sat straight ahead but my feet pointed to the right to get to the pedals and getting out the door didn't open enough and you had to bend your knee's first and swing out.This was 15 years ago so maybe they have changed.As far as being as good as a puma we'll agree to disagree,unless yours is a updated model.
