ROAD CONTEST - WHO IS FASTER, YOUR ALFA OR...?
YEAH, i know, it's not good... speeding on the public roads...
but, this is it, i cannot help it...
so, usually the best client for me is the octavia 1.8T 20V; it has 150cp stock>>no problem with that, they are eating my dust!
golf IV V6>>> no way hose! my bella is leaving them behind... today one tried something... hi hi hi he is still crying 
octavia RS>>hey, we're talking of 180 cp stock, here we have some problems, but... we're good (read mad) drivers, so, we're the first...
seat ibiza TDI or golf IV TDI>>> 150cp; hmmm it's a diesel, so... let it behind!
passat vr5... too big, too slow, we're better!
vectra c gts>>> ok, they can try, but they succeed only to escort us from behind...
imprezza wrx/wrx sti>>> no comment 
these are generally the car who can try (or succeed>wrx sti) to pass an nice and mad 147 in romania...
i'll keep you informed

147 Sillyspeeds are nothing more than a medium sized snack for my 189 wild horses.

Under my 'ugly' Jap bonnet is a 1.8 litre variable valve timing lift engine with 189 prancing ponies that will canter up to 6000rpm and then they get real startled and stampede to 8000rpm (where the redline just begins).
0-100mph in 18.6 seconds and 30-70mph in under 7 seconds as tested by Top Gear in the wet.
Yeeha, ride em cowboy! |

Ok, my other car - a Westfield. 260bhp Vauxhall twin cam engine. Weighing in at...560kg
So thats 464bhp/tonne.
Does 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds
Does 0-100mph in 7.8 seconds
AND it looks better than any jap car
AND it goes better than any jap car
AND it does not sound like a hairdryer |

Well it's a bit hard to drive on the roads, sensibly. And the roads are too dangerous. When accelerating hard it is impossible to stop the wheels spinning, even when you slam it into 5th.
It is also incredibly loud, has no heater, no roof, no doors, has a 2 gallon fuel tank, is not very economical, eats tyres. It is not the smoothest of rides (runs v lumpy below 4500 rpm) and for my 1 hour daily commute I would have to stop at each petrol station on the way. One that sell super unleaded as well (not too popular round here).
It is fun ass-whooping scoobies & evo's round tracks!
And I am limited to 1500 miles / year.
Websites are like arseholes, everyone has one, and im wary of any bloke trying to direct people into their's

Yeah, 464bhp sounds
Although it might be easier to lighten the car instead. wink |
