Why would a Tangara beat an XPT. I'm interested in your ,opinion. While your
at it, lets change the rules and location shall we? How about we go west of
Blacktown, forget 3801, and we will race a Tangara and an XPT.  The XPT can
be either LE 5 car set or 7 car set. On the high speed track, you still
think the Tangara will be the winner?
