I know what you mean mate, I drove Karl Norris's 3DR a year or so ago, and that is over 600bhp..............

The thing scared the shit out of me, made my 370bhp 3DR feel like a 1.0l

possibly one of the worst cars ive ever driven was a 3dr with over 500hp, totally - dull. didnt enjoy it one bit. ive driven others with more and less, and tbh does nothing for me.

And i think my 380 horses are fast

but i love the drivability of mine, think its a great set up for the road

Would love to have a drive of a 500 horsy, just to feel that power

Mind you, next time im at Karls house, he`s going to give me a blast in his clean pair of pants i think

Fast is relative, 500bhp seems very flat almost slow compared to say 700bhp & that feels sluggish compared to our present 900+ in a Cossie. Then you have Mr Cowie's car that makes mine feel like a milkfloat.

as he said staffi, its all relative I went out in a T4 8 injector car, and the difference between that and my 370bhp saff is unbelivable and in reality, 370bhp in a RWD car is still fucking rapid........
