try to beat something a little harder Kev; even i can beat those  :tongue: :grin: :grin:

I was in two minds, I didnt want to hammer the car at all, but thought feck it. i was still holding back a bit though as it was wet but still did him no prob, esp when hit 3rd, 4th and 5th gears.

Was nippy though I thought, going into and out of the roundabouts he was in front, but once we hit a long straight it was no contest, thats when I thought why did he even bother. :grin:

Cause it's easy to go fast in a straight line. I used to love mullering fast cars in my mini :evil:

I had one come screaming up behind me off a roundabout onto a dual carrigeway so IMO he was asking to be shown what real power is.  Never saw him again  :laugh: :laugh:

Another one tried to pull away as i was overtaking - FAIL  :laugh:

Very true. For some its all about straight line speed. Give me something that can take corners anyday... usually much more fun too.

Just for reference, I was driving a GTI, not a truck. He was not pulling away at corners, there's no where for me to pass. What I found nippy about his car is the way he went in and out of them, no-where did I say he was faster and at no point did I say it's all about straight line speed.

I swear to god some people are just pricks.

Watch out for those, I know a couple running boost and they are frighteningly fast!

+1 a friend has a super charged Fiesta ST putting out over 270hp and it is QUICK it would eat a MK5/MK6 GTI for breakfast, lunch and dinner and keep spanking them all day.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yeah you can also put a jet engine on a skateboard and it will beat a GTi, but for faks sake it's a ford and he couldn't beat him stock  :wink:
