Oh end of story then, the argument's settled. Good sir Randall has spoken.
'Raped' such a ridiculous term. I hear people using words like this when they mean one car length or even less.
However, equally I here people say 'oh car X can keep up with car Y' when in fact car Y isn't even trying or even noticed car X. Or, because car X is being ragged, driver X he assumes car Y is too being ragged and though car Y is pulling away slightly, car X assumes he can just about keep up when Y isn't trying. lol you with me?!
182 rapes VTS. My arse. :S
Two identical drivers, same circumstances, then 182 has slightly quicker 0-60, and pulls away a bit by 100.
I've tried it. I know. :rasp:
I bet most 182 drivers have been beaten by other supposedly quicker cars by such small margins. Say for argument's sake a 750i vs 182, and yet I'm sure they wouldn't say they'd been raped.
I just think that too many Clio 172/182 drivers suffer from a "my car's considerably quicker than yows" attitude, snobbish and elitist, always out to prove a point like a chip on a shoulder. When in fact the Clio 172/182 it just a slightly better than average French car.
You doubters keep believing what you believe; you'll get shown up before long.
I'm not wound up but not posting anymore on this matter as it is boring now.
:boring:
