TRAFFIC LIGHT RACERS

[marcus123]

yeh i beat quite a few cars in it.

cleaned up an rs turbo last week, that was v satisfying

my 16v eats saxos for breakfast

best race i had recently was with this bmw 328i,
bullied him and then took over, guy looked shocked that he was getting beaten by a 15 yr old car

i used to have an 8valve, saxo vtrs are no problem

[16v Matt]

LOL, there is no way the guy in the 328 was racing he would have blown ya doors off! :'(

[marcus123]

no way man

he was given it some

maybe it was a 323 badged as a 328i?

either way it was dealt with

[marcus123]

no it wouldnt mate,

2.3's are no way as quick as a 16valve matey,
look it up in parkers

[Chrisb]

ive raced my mates 106 gti a couple of time and he absolutly wastes my 8v raced saxo's vts and they dont seem to pull away anywhere near asmuch  

[16v Matt]

Sorry matey, 16v's are quick. I know i've got one. But they just won't cope with a 6 cylinder 3ltr beemer engine. My mates got a VERY fast G40 that will give TT's a good run for their money & he can only just have a 328. I know for a fact his 0-60 is in the low 6's. Just accept the fact that there are many cars out there that will b!tch slap a 16v & a 328 is one of em!!
Could be a different story on twisty lanes though

[marcus123]

it was a relatively twisty carrigeway, and the guy did drive like a bit of a pussey,

but he was going for it, could of been a 323i,
328s arent that quicker than a 16valver mate

im talkin about the old 328i, not the new 330ci

massive diffrence mate

[S11EPS]

Parkers quotes a 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds and a top end of 150mph for a 328.

Thats some-way off the performance of a Mk2 16v dude!

Bare in mind that the torque of the bimmer straight 6 is going to offer massive mid-range grunt, the 0-60 benchmark is probably the one with the least difference as well.

There is no doubting that the Mk2 16v is a quick motor, but if that bimmer was being driven as you were driving your Mk2 I personally think there is little chance you'd have passed him, sorry.

[16v Matt]

Don't matter how old it was mate, I would treat anything bigger than 320i with some respect!

Cos they WILL make you look like a monkey if they want to!
To be honest i've had my ass kicked by quite a few beemer diesels too. :'(

[16v Matt]

How did the word disagree get in my post?!!

It should have read "I've had my ass kicked by quite a few beemer diesels"
