Then he got shown up by a 14' 911 who decided to give us a chase which we accepted and we had a brilliant country blast. Plenty of lift off and back end happy, but held its own against the 911 until he gave up.

For a standard car, bar now a K&N panel filter I think they perform very well.
Bet you guys were having far more fun in a 20+ yo Astra than the Porsche guy was, easier to reach cars limits without having to do 120 mph. I'd also expect you'd get plenty of respect from on lookers too
