I thought my car was not that quick until....

Are you sure you cant keep up with a Lambo?!

4 People at work have asked me how come my car is so quick. They drive a BMW 330ci SMG, Subaru Impreza WRX, Focus ST2, Porsche Boxter (2.7).

Just the mere 10 miles to or from work (for those days I'm too lazy to cycle) have out dragged/stuck with: 2004 Audi S4, Leon Cupra R 225, Accord Type R (mullered him), New Shape CTR.

On Saturday we had four lads in the car (inc me) all 80kg+ and a BMW 328 Ci with a greasy looking bloke (on his own) shot up behind and pushed me along (while I was patiently waiting for a Volvo Estate that was pulling to the left lane) I gave it some throttle he could not gain enough to catch up. When we came to the roundabout we lent out and politely expressed our concern as to how slow his car was... he said he wasn't trying... but we asked "Do you always drive at that speed when your not trying?"... "You got done by a Mini full of big-ish lads... bye"

I love this car... it embarrasses so many people who drive more "serious" cars :opcorn::

I have kept up with a bentley GT at 40 upto 95 (private road obviously) before I decided speeds could get very silly, although he didn't really have anything on me. I think he might have been a bit shocked and headed straight to a Bentley garage to ask what was wrong with his car

e46 m3, Impreza sti are the ones i remember most

in both example 1 and 2 i'm finding it hard to believe, but i'll give you benefit of the doubt.

Lucky the example 1 was'nt the diesel version, on the go it would have left you in soot.

Also RS4, definately a previous shape RS4, could it have been an S4. As the RS4 should and would poop you in those increments.

A lot of people confuse the old S4 with an RS4 the S4 is as follows:

S4 quattro 339 bhp & 1660 kg (204 Bhp/tonne)

Mini 240bhp & 1200 kg (200 Bhp/tonne)...

I've beat a lambo. :opcorn::

With a stick? :opcorn::

I've beaten a Lambo, some joker in London stalled his Diablo at the lights.

I raced the following on a "private track" when my old MCS was only 200bhp

Mk4 Golf R32 - Nothing in it

Astra VXR - Was pulling away a bit on the straights but I had the advantage of not having to brake so much for bends

Fiesta ST- Why did he even bother trying? LOL

I will admit I was surprised myself
The 335i is my neighbours - he isn't the worlds best driver but he did say 'I wasn't going to be beaten by a mini' so assume he was going for it.

RS4 - R plate estate with RS4 badge on the back swollen arches etc (apologies if that is a previous previous version, I don't study audi model history) - I was shocked actually, this guy drives like a nutter - the uphill drag he overtook me when I slowed for traffic.
We have met on another occasion through the twisties and he wasn't pulling away - the way he was sliding in the corners told me he was going for it though. Obviously I don't know the state of tune of said car but the point was that I realise mine is not down on power as it should have not kept up.

Actually the old B5 S4 in biturbo was 261 Bhp and the B5 RS4 in bi turbo was 375 mate. Your thinking of the latter V8 version.

The RS4 is one car i would not try it on with.

Did i mention that an RS6 is 14k now......

Mate on sale from 2000 only, demos and release was very late on 1999.

I'm a geek like that

Yes just like this

Had no problems keeping with a gorgeous looking Alfa 147 GTa in pearl white on a country road.... even though he cut every single corner and took the racing line, U kept in my lane. His car sounded pretty ace.

Very true but what a lot of people forget is the drivetrain loss also. BHP/Ton, Lbft/Ton and drivetrain losses all need to be weighed up
