some of my best time in my ERST was when i beat a maserati from the red light looooooool you should have seen his face
also out ran a kid in dads Bmw 540i
the other time was when my brothers m8 who had an 350+bhp ESCOS raced me
we did a roling start from 40-170kmt and i just stayed at his door all the way and this cossie runs 12.4sec 1/4mlie allday long

a 1.6 twincam MR2 won't be that quick...odds are you beat that

a 2.0 turbo would be a different story

no, its the new mr2, not the older big ones.

the new one only has one engine type i thought

this one:-

i thought they were in the mid sevens to sixty and a pretty good top speed.

getting confused here. a few people have mentioned beating saxos...vts im sure as they are the only ones worth bothering with. im guessing they are modded rsts. as i thought standard rsts were no match for the vts/gti 106. they are nippy little things

Saxo's are a good laugh if you put the fact that they are made so badly. Mate had one but realised at the age of 30 he looked a twat getting out of it and he'd hung his baseball cap up years ago

Used to have some good races against his Paxo in our old 130bhp 8v XR2i

He had an arguement with a taxi and a silly slow speed and it still did this

If you're 18 then they are rapid, fun little cars.

Glad my mate got shot and got his rather nice Focus ST170 not as quick but in every way a better car

The Paxo weighs about as much as a half empty box of fags don't forget

The Focus is made of metal therefore heavier

Not really raced much cos the cars standard. I had a go at an Astra GTE redtop 2 weeks ago. Silly mistake! Pushed me all the way along the bypass! Seemed a very quick car
could have had a calibra turbo lump in it?

Mines only 155 just above standard...

Saxo VTS are quick off the mark but oonce you got the RST rolling and the boost comes in bye bye VTS!!!

VTR's are shit slow (100bhp or so), VTS's aren't even fast (bout 125). Not that light either, modern cars are full of safety crap and if one beats an RST when i've not come across one that beats my 3i, then you should get it looked at.

oh saying that, i met a supercharged one once. torque was phenomenal, it went from 30 in 4th to about 90 really really fast.

is yours a standard xr3i?. a vts would be a standard one or even mildly modded. they are quicker than the 205 gti 1.6s and they were quicker in the day than the 3i if i recall. didnt look anynear as good though

Glanza turbo- Admire this guy cause he tried really hard
V20 Passat- He was sound cause he gave me the thumbs up
Porsche 944 (I think)- Prick
CLK Merc - which was a laugh cause his woman was with him and he looked pissed off when I went by
Celica GT - He tought he was the cheese flashing me from behind - tosser

BUT I was trashed off the road by an EVO 6 - disgraceful - I was pissed and considered good and hard about getting a escort cossie---

well ive sold my 1995 m3 coupe running about 330bhp and i strongly believe the rst ive just bought will easily stay with it once up and running but from standstill to say 80 the m3 will win( unless i can get decent traction..... .

Some idiot tried to go passed me on motorway in a 1.4 corsa, i let him get up beside me he looked at me with a huge grin so i put the foot down and waved bye bye. Stupid boy, why bother.
I have passed a TRD Supra but dont think he was trying.
Love racing scoobys as they underestimate the power of our cars although i have yet to beat one guy running his at 340bhp with carbon fibre everything.

my xr3i has one of these.....



instead of this...



205 gti's are about the same as a standard 3i but corner quicker unless the 3i is lowered. 1.9 gti's were quicker but mine beats em, and 1.9 gti's beat paxo's.

Well, the missus successfully rinsed a Porsche Boxster. That was ages ago (maybe when the car was 250bhp?) and I wasn't in the car with her. I thought that was pretty .

Yesterday I mauled an SL320, I know they aren't great, but he just wouldn't move over and it was REALLY obvious he was trying, so I had to show him.

Other than that, of course my favourite victim is this one......
