Even if you start taking into account power to weight ratios and transmission losses in a 4WD compaired to a 2WD the extra 200bhp of the Escos and the 4wd will easily out do the 300bhp of a FWD car. 300bhp is just pushing the limits of traction on an old RST a bit to much I recon.

That isnt good enough to beat a 550bhp escos, which will do it in sub 5, so the person you raced must have missed a gear or something.

Nah i missed a gear when timing the 60-100 :P

Just speaking from experiance of following a 500bhp cossie kept pretty close up until around 120..... (from 70ish), then the cossie just kept pulling as you would expect!

My std clio diesel is much faster anyway :P
