Anyone up for it as I haven't been to brunters for ages
We would have to choose the Ford cars carefully (so they don't win
)
I reckon we could get some good grudge matches if we choose the cars well and Performance Ford/BMW could cover; read:foot the bill
I'd love to put my CSL up against say an escos and compare the modern launch control on a 2wd vs the old school 4wd

And after the long distance test, we could then get the drivers to sit another driving test and see how many of the BMW drivers remember where their indicators are....
...although saying that, I should shut up... I've just bought a 3-series

shhh, don't tell anyone....

Then In that case I have a problem..........I shave my head, so no hair to tart up........
BM's will win, because by the time the ford guys have checked their oil, water, dump valve, chirpy chirpy cheap cheap thingy, we'll have crossed the line.
No.....No......No....... Listen, how about a wide open throttle full speed run, and see who's engines melt first......OMG, This will be one big piss take (On both Sides).
And lets have a competition (At the end of the day).....to see which team has the most cars still capable of being driven home....and not on a trailer.
Realy depends on which cosworths turn up. In the majority ...... they'll waste the BM's....... But, at least we'll be able to drive home at the end of the day.
Any Cossie which is beyond stage 3, will beat most of the standard BM's. My M5 has about the same performance as my cossie had when it was around the 340 - 350bhp mark. (Genuine 340/350bhp not bullshit chav power quotes). Over about 120mph......the BM's will start coming back strong, and over 140mph the BM's will still be accelerating.
Remember : The E46 M3 and E39 M5 are both capable of a genuine 186mph if their restricter has been removed. There ain't many cossies that will do that reliably.
All good fun......
