If you beat a Testerossa the engine was fucked or the driver couldnt drive.

You would be = to my 348 to 60 and youd be quicker to 100 but after that seeya as mine dones 175 ish

Tim off here's Corsa did 100 in the 11s, his mates Nova did it in the 10s, and other mate did it in a high 9.

And thats with FWD poo traction versus RWD and mega fat tyres awesome traction the rarri wold have.

Also take into account it bet its MEGA hard/impossible to equal the Ferrari book times, as it wouldve been done by a Pro who had countless attempts (if it happened at all).

So yes, the Ferrari would get absolutley fucked over IMO.

Raced one 3 up out of a round about with PHILZVH and the Mrs not long after the car was set up a couple of years ago. A few miles up the road when we'd slowed down for the next round about he caught up and gave us a big smile and wave.
Sounded though he was giving it the big one too us, but maybe he bottled it. All good fun though.
