oh 

scratch that then

on a side note, a paki lad we know has a mk4 R32 SC, and a mk5 R32 standard, the SC MK4 is only just quicker than the standard mk5 R32 - how odd is that

[Jay]

Can we please do this or stop ponying around over ooo my engine produces 6bagillion megagigawatts horsepower and just agree that a fabia goes well for a smoker.

i see we still like to travel in straight lines only.. get dizzy spinning those decks do we?

I have a mk6 gti revod atm.. and a mazda3 mps as a reserve car. If you want to go in striaght lines then I would happily turn up with the mazda and its 300+ bhp. Alternatiely we can visit a track and i will bring the GTI. Either way I dont think I would meet with a kid to prove a point... everyone gets a point in the willy waving club

I'll bowl up in one of Nissans GTRs and have everyone everywhere. 

Now that IS a fast car. So nice to drive.

And then I'll bring a VRS and spank the lot of you

Nah cause then I'll get my 8v GTI out and you'll be screwed.

Then I'll get out and walk. 

In all seriousness, if it's the new style VRS he came across then it is quite quick - especially given that to most people it's quite a standard looking hatch. It's certainly no Focus RS wannabe.

As for the willy waving competition... I think Gilly has made the best point (although it's not the point he was making).

More horsepower isn't always better. That's why I'm presuming the MPS is for straight line fun and the GTI for the track.

Going back to the OP again, in the situation of trying to catch another car between roundabouts (on the track obviously), there's no hard and fast rule about what car is quicker. High end horsepower could be beaten by low to mid range torque. A more powerful FWD could be beaten by 4wd traction but then a powerful buy heavy car could be beaten by something lighter and nippier.
