few WORDs for all the ENGLISH lads graham is IRISH therefore the GARDAI would be the ones trying to prosecute him and they are completely useless compared to your competent police force i can safely say the only thing they would say is take that egggssshhhaussstss of the car please! cos shes awful loud!
have you ever raced against one of those three cars? Let people that actually have do the talking. Maybe an ek9 gets wasted by the astra but it will be a close one against a teg. Astra`s are very heavy to begin with and their huge torque down low can`t really compensate for it.

Iv been in a modified 98 spec as it was getting done it by a VXR from 100-140.
What car? I seriously doubt that if it was a modified dc2 got smoked by a vxr. Unless the driver of the dc2 had to left feet or the vxr is far beyond standard and plays you for a fool.
Think I have to agree Honda's aren't unbeatable. Cars nowadays have a lot of power and 1230kg ain't thát heavy. Certainly not when there's 80ft/lb extra available.See for two seconds, put down your honda tinted glasses and accept that they can get beat.
It was a 98spec with I/E and the astra vxr is completly standard. The astra pulls away no bother from about 100 up.
The astra did a 14.7 quarter mile and the dc2 did a 14.5. So from a rolling start the astra will beat it. The only reason the astras QM isnt faster is because it has mega wheelspin off the line.
Be careful not to turn this into a street-racing thread guys....
ITS not STREET RACING DONE ON A PRIVATE ROAD

Yeah but we're talking 1, maybe 2% difference, no more.Don't forget that there is a power lost btw thw engine and the wheels, and in honda's case it is one of the smallest on the market.
Was that on a track? If so, ever considered the factor "driver"?I had a similar expirience, but in my case on track. A guy with a 235hp BMW came to me at the end of the day and asked what I have under my hood, because He wasn't able to follow me.
I have a 205bhp EK4.
Would you head off i was being sarcastic ffs.[/QUOTE]that was not a private raod
racing = track or stirp IMO
