to be honest mate, its not what you drive, but how you drive it.

if you have a fast car - its not a foregone conclusion that you will beat someone, you still have to work for it.

i find it more fun to be the under dog - you always have the advantage that no one expects you to pick on a 996 Turbo. Just make sure you pick a run where the advantages are in your favour

Definately agree Tin ... god it's so nice to give someone a shock though!!

I've not had time or the money as yet to get something meaty in my Golf - Only had her 6 months or so !!! But my previous car (Sorry yes it was a Ford ... ) started as a bit of fun and got way outa hand, complete 'sleeper'.

Old Fiesta XR2 (Standard trim Outside) vs. E30 M3 - boy did he get a shock !

to be honest i' havent had a decent run recently.

i did sorta have one, my mgtf vs porsche 944 (2.5) a couple of days ago. i was losing, but not by much, and it was one of the few times - damn - my 16v would of mauled this guy and then some.

The best ones are the sad blokes aged between 30-40 who get all excited because they have a bottom of the range company car (usually BMW 3 series or Merc). Most of these cars struggle to do 0-60 in less than 9.5 secs.

There's about 10 miles of dual carraigeway near me split by about 7-10 roundabouts (actually its the final bit of of dual carraigeway that takes you to this years GTI int). I've had great fun hassling these tie and shirt boys round the roundabouts - their cars weigh about twice as much. I've only got a 81 1600 GTI but I always get them with third gear, which I can stay in till about 80 mph.

mums 6 speed 2002 Bora TDI Sport, Its a Ex VW show car riding on VW golf 17s and is great fun for racing people in, I drive it a lot when i dont want to use my Mk2. All the boy racers that ive raced in my CL (and won ) usally take the piss out of it calling it a grandad car, They stop laughting when they heer the turbo spooling and im shifting into 6th gear at 140MPH  

[tinman]

..... into 6th gear at 140MPH  

"when you were in germany" of course....
