Showdown!





Ive just finished uni, so Ive now moved back to my parents home and I often park my car on the road during the daytime to free up some garage space. Recently, Ive also been spending a lot of time mending/cleaning some cars to sell, which are kept on the street - so I get to see who looks at my car.

Anyway, once a day theres this guy who has a 51 reg black standard Ibiza Cupra who passes. He always looks at my mint, polished Valver and gives it the daggers - and then boots it off up the hill next to my house. I reckon hes miffed theres another black hot hatch in the village and I think next time I see him I want to thrown down the gaundlet and defend the honour of the Valver!

So before I do this, I need to know what the Ibiza Cupras are like on the road. I know the basic stats, and that a 172 is just faster, but what about versus a tuned Valver (with just under 130bhp ATW)??? Hell have a good torque advantage, but Im calculating that my sh*t-to-a-blanket handling and VTEC-alike power band will save the day...

:D
 


These Ibizas do handle v.well. I think it will be down to the driver in the end. Altho you could have that edge if your tuned up! The outcome would be interesting, Good Luck!
 


Had a race along the countries with a Cupra-R a little while ago.....I beat him convincingly but not easily. I had to push my Willy2 to the limit and take corners at !00 + with the arse end of the Willy just stepping out. It will be a close run thing. Hats off to the bloke, gave me a flash and a thumbs up when I turned off.



Bill.

Why bother with him?

If hes giving your car the dagger look then hes probably very jealous.

Youll probably get a better result if you just give him a friendly wave when he passes. If hes an arse hell just boot it a away but he might just be a decent bloke and stop for a closer look.
 


Nah, I think I know him anyway from school days - I was just joking about defending honour etc! But I will talk to him and Im sure hell be up for some experimentation in the name of science.
