Why does every time I see these drag videos at PD, it feels like ordering rice at an authentic Chinese restaurant. Cut to the chase and show the ludicrous wheel spin.

[@subhrobaur7137]

Lots of people are raging against safari , but still heart beats for safari , just because its added practicality and happiness of taking whole fam in a trip , at least of 5 people with full luggage . Will be happy to see a 4 door THAR. But for now, Safari is easy enough to take down almost every kind of road in it's path in spite of being a front wheel drive, Which itself is an achievement without any proper 4/4. Remember Safari was in CITY MODE, NOT in SPORT, restricting its engine capacity to 150 BHP from 170. And also no comparison between them cz they are way different in terms of pricing. People sayin Innova better than new safari .. Really vrooo ?!?!?!?!?!? LOOOOL XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD For Me. having 20-26 lkhs to spend? SAFARI ANYDAY.
