All The Cars We Left Behind Today
« on: 28 June 2010, 19:17 »
Maybe a nice way to evaluate in real life how fast our GTI (remapped or not)..

I had a very brief encounter with a red pimped old Mazda huge exhaust and a lot of noise....
We were at the lights, he pulled up with a scene and theatre straight from Fast and Furious it made everybody looking ...I found out what he wanted took my time and when I gave a bit more gas without drama (besides a slight snarl) I quickly overtook and went on my way ...never saw him again... :evil:

It must have been so humiliating for the man behind the wheel... :smug:


BTW
If it gets fans...maybe make it sticky I myself find it fun to read (on other fora)

I remember that thread, I caused a right kick off when unreported back that I pissed on an Edition 30 when driving an Astra VXR.

Stubborn lot these new MK owners!

Not hard when a vxr is tunable to 300bhp and an ed30 is only 230bhp standard though  :undecided:

Staaandard VXR  :evil: at that point anyway, then it got a bit of work done and pretty much drives like sh!t now, not that im fussed, It's not my car.

You sound just like a former mk5 owner that used to hang around these parts... Same name too......Welcome back! :wink:

Purely coincidental i assure you  :wink:

Doesnt surprise me then if both were standard, theres only a drivers difference in most modern hot hatches anyway!
I know, i have the same engine as an ED30, well its better.....well before he modded it lol

Caught up with that evo that murdered me last week... gave a much better showing and probably suprised him a little (but not much). :grin:
