Wow shock horror.

190bhp car driven by someone whos been driving performance cars flat out every week for the last 15years, also the fact they dont give a fook about said car so are not bothered about crashing it.

Vrs

212bhp FRS driven by someone whos probably only done a hand full of trackdays if that, there cars there pride and joy so dont want to stuff it.

Yeah really shocked at the result.

Alfa 75's are fucking awsome cars, one of the best handling cars around, and lighter than an FRS, and right wheel drive.

Could have been a bloody Honda or something like that instead of an RS as you could almost here the laughter from all other hot hatch performance car drivers around the country

To be honest it didn't look like the focus was really going for it, to me it looked like he was watching Clarkson go past.

Had a few good laps in one at Bruntingthorpe just after Boxing Day





Really nice handling car - although Ron Simons reckons the Twinspark versions are a better bet at the Ring school he runs. Lot easier on components as well
