Saxo - I had a blast with one of your guys on there. He had a STi spec wagon - he was a little shocked to say the least

Faster, but not massively so if absolutely bog standard. My old scooby was P1 fast and the S2000 I played with I could not have passed.

I frequent Scoobynet - I'll let you know if anyone posts an, 'I spanked an S2000 thread '
C'mon, we're not that proud...why don't you post "Who spanked an S2000 in Bristol" thread???

I don't know how you guys do it. I could never park next to someone at the traffic lights and rev my engine ready to race, I would feel like a right muppet .

You don't do that Jamie. When you start pulling away normally, you just know if the other guy is going to plant the pedal!

I think you are getting visions of Fast and Furious

Billy my scooby did 13.401 @ 103mph at crail and that was with the car leaving the line sideways such was the ferrocity of the launch. From 0-60 my car would obliterate an S2000 as would a standard P1. On the roll though the advantage is markedly less. The P1 set its stall out in the first 60ft gaining about 0.7 of a second on you. 60ft is around 30 metres so over the remaining 370m he only pulled a gap of around 0.5 of a second. Considering your 14.5 is gay and my 14.3 at crail was not he'd only beat me by 0.3s if you subtract the 60ft advantage. On the road that is probably about a car length which means from 60-105mph my car would likely drop from level to just off his rear quarter. I'd say that is just 'slightly' faster

Can't say I have ever done that. To be honest it's more along the lines of pretend your not interested at first (then lave them for dead).

Like I said earlier, whilst I do enjoy a bit of fun with other cars I will not go dumping the clutch.

So have you never pushed your car against another?

Oh yes , every day but never from standing starts. I like to be up and running. Yesterday for instance I am doing 90 and this beemer gets right up my arse with lights on. I think oh well I will let him past so I just drop into the middle lane of the motorway and drop it into 4th. Foot flat on pedal and chaging up to 5th I hit 135 . I look in my mirror to see he is well back but me going into the middle lane was nice of me to let him go past. So I see he doesn't then I pull into the fast lane again. I just wanted to prove I could leave himn standing so then I slow down to 90 again and let him past

I push my car everytime I get in it, nothing has ever whipped my arse although a new shape m3 started to pull on me over a ton once so I let him go.
