mutley Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 any car will do that.. eventually it'll stall well unless its an automatic then it'll just keep driving itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairM Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You'd be able to do that fine if its a totally flat bit of road, any inclination and it'll stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy C Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 mine drives fine in second ticking over without stalling and can cope with very slight inclines. i recon its because it often sits ideling quite high; just over 1000 rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwin Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You can pull away in 5th gear with no acclerator on a flat road in my nova 1.4 sr. Will go on without stalling aslong as the road is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy C Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 What you want to do with that nova is put it in 5th jump out and let it drive off into the sunset lol Why do you have a 1.4 nova when youve got two beasted up novas aswell??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwin Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Been sitting smashed up in my mates garage for over a year and a half now, lets just say we had an off at over 90mph while on a rally stage in wales. Ripped wheel off pretty much and bent everythign underneath the car Its the most balanced Nova you can buy, lovely little cars, I'd buy a mint standard one again ANY day of the week lol!
