Where exactly are you getting this info?
What about 30-60 in 2nd, 50-80 in 3rd, 80-100 in 4th....? These are in gear times where you would be left behind, if indeed your gear ratio's made it these speeds. Even if you dropped all the speeds by 10mph, it would still be no contest. So it don't...
I would love to rip you apart in my Cup but I ain't travelling the length of the country to do it. Your assumption is incorrect, in thinking my Cup is far superior. I just think the whole MGZ range looks rank, hence the "heap" comment. Feel free to embarass yourself against all the other cars there!
You're not treading on people's toes. Your post claims some very quick times that I don't think people believe.
Like you say, you can reach 60 comfortably in under 8 secs. The stats for a DCi100 claim around 11.5 - 12 secs, so that's near 4 secs. The 0-90 (why not 100?) in 16.5 would normally...
Yeah or record a video next to a Sport to show that you can keep up. Or not. If you can hit 90 in 16.5 secs, you will be very close.
I am keen to see how a 30 bhp increase = a 4 second increase to 60 mph and about 8-10 secs increase to 90 mph.
You don't like the Fiorano? That's the 599 GTB, right!?
That's the Ferrari I would have. Enzo engine, a beautiful GT car. Rapid. Sounds amazing. What not to like. (completely off topic now) Much nicer than the Corsa, maybe not the Clio. lol
So we're all agreed then?
Let's face it, you either like the Corsa or you don't. I don't.
The chav comments are maybe a bit too much as the Mini forum calls all the Clio drivers chavs, so it's a wicked circle.
Some people have mentioned that they would have the Clio if it had more power...
Yeah, up the hill on the roads, I saw that. I saw a piece of film where the Clio 197 beat the VXR on the track. It did not appear to handle as well as the Clio, even with the extra poke, hence the loss.
I don't like the VXR or anything about it. You will not convince me otherwise. That's why I...
I said the VXR couldn't. Maybe the Mini etc can buit the VXR was all over the place on the track at least.
Hoff, no I haven't driven one and don't intend too. I don't own any Burberry so I'm not allowed.
Exactly. I couldn't give a $hit if the Corsa is slightly faster. It looks gash and is not as well set-up as a 197. The N/Ring time means jack too. Okay, it's a good time in the VXR but it's mostly about the driver and how insane he is! Cups can beat that time.
