Mk2 16v VS Mini Cooper S

[Veedubgt18v]

Now that is bad driving. I only play when I feel its safe. If someone gets out of hand, I do the grown up thing and back off. Age gives you the experience to read situations.

besides crashing hurts BIG time, not to mention the cost/hassle etc

besides i laugh at chav tossers

I personally think that there wouldn't be much in it between these cars as it all depends on whose driving it. My friend used to rally cars and he has owned both a mk1 gti and a mk2 8v gti, and he told me that he raced a BMW M3 in his Mk1 on a twisty road and it couldn't get near him apart from on the straight bits.

Thats different. On a straight it would lay him out flat and as you say bend roads, great fun.

I remember in my ***COUGH*** XR2 I was trying to play with a VOLVO T5 and could'nt, until I came of my junction and sat on his ass waiting for him to move so I could pass on the steep bend on a turn off on the M2 (can'remeber which junction) he was nearly losing it but that XR poo was on rails.

Just for everyones info, my Golf would cane the ass of the poo, but hell it was a fun car.

Martz, t5s are heavyweight cars
dont f**k with them unless you got something meen
my coupe would struggle with em

I own a 2.0 16v nova   (you love me really) and raced a mini cooper S, standing start at the lights. I got in total of about a car length on him until he had to turn off, saying that had a bend come i would have slowed down a hell of a lot. My 2.0 16v gti is slower then my nova, so i reckon, yep a cooper s would most definitely eat a 16v. Cooper S' also handle very well so the golf even though the handling is great would not put much of a fight up.
