It gets better....
These are the cars he "could beat when everything is at the right temperature" in his 1.4 Renault 5:
BMW 3 Series,
318i 0 - 60 11.1, 115 BHP, Top Speed 114MPH, Engine - 1.8i
320i SE 0 - 60 10.3, 125 BHP, Top Speed 122MPH, Engine - 2.0i
318i SE E46 0 - 60 10.4, 118 BHP, Top Speed 123MPH, Engine - 1.9i
BMW Z3's
1.8 0 - 60 10.5, 118 BHP, Top Speed 122MPH, Engine - 1.8i
Citroen Saxo's,

Ford Fiesta's,
MK2 XR2i 0 - 60 - 10.2, 96 BHP, Top Speed - 112 MPH, Engine - 1.8i 16v
Ford Escort's,
MK4 XR3i 0 - 60 10.1, 108 BHP, Top Speed 120MPH, Engine - 1.8i
Mini's

Vauxhall Corsa's,
Sport 0 - 60 - 10.5, 90 BHP, Top Speed 112MPH, Engine - 1.4i 16v
SXi 0 - 60 - 12.0, 74 BHP, Top Speed 106MPH, Engine - 1.2i 16v
Vauxhall Nova's,
SRi 0 - 60 10.8, 82 BHP, Top Speed 109MPH, Engine -
And probably loads others but would be very sad of me to list them all, but there the main 1's.
And the one I'm most impressed with is beating 3 MR2's from the latest shape to the previous 1 on a dual carriageway then round a roundabout and on to the motorway I was most impressed, but the power to weight ratio would have been the main factor in that with it being 96bhp per ton.
