Lol i bet his face was a picture. Sadly alot of those sort of owners do know and respect the cossie. My dads mate who i thought had no idea about cars was telling me how my rs500 rep was a rep due to not having 8 injectors and he did think they went off the clock as standard

How gutted / shocked would you be feeling when a old 90's, 2L 4 cylinder Ford passes your brand new Audi, 4.2L V8 R8 that you've just bought for Ł90k!?
Love it

I work in Mayfair, and fucking hell supercars used to be exciting to see, now I see at least 5 astons a day, countless 911's millions of Bentleys, the odd roler, its getting old now

Some of the ones sat still last week...


C63 AMG


DB9

And a couple of raris



Will get a piccy of the Veryon in the Bently dealership just up the road when I pass by it next time.

Fuck buying an R8, an old brick passing at 150ish surely means the 420bhp is bullshit. Mind you after owning an A3 quattro maybe I should know better about Audis

Same engine as the RS4, and from what I've read, pretty much all of them struggle to make the quoted 414bhp when standard.

its prob cause there aint such thing as a carrera turbo,,, its either a n/a carrera or a turbo

the carreras aint that quick tbh due to the weight of them, the carrera 4s for example is just over 300bhp and 4wd and weighs alot more than a corsa with a turbo engine,, race a REAL turbo and then tell me how you get on

the point is wasting a car when you have more power aint that impressive,, the difference comes to why they aint as fast as a cossie can be, they tend to weigh more and where the cossie is rattling its dash and the steering has gone all light and you got 2 hands on the wheel the bloke in the porsche turbo will prob still be chatting on hes phone about some old sierra thats flying past belching out smoke not to mention the stopping distances of the 2 cars, sierras brakes aint the best compared to 6 pot brembos as standard
