one raced me today and yes it was quick but not quite as quick as i would have expected fromm a 200bhp motor?

 

They are nippy but not all that quick. Dispensed with quite a few of them now and boy do they not like it

 

Here you go mate

Ive drove quite a few of the latest revison ctr's and they really do struggle at 130mph. Really nice trackday cars but there missing a turbo imo.

 

i had one in my vectra v6 ,would,nt say theyre anything to rant about

 

kicked my arse once but i've got a standard rst. it really didnt pull away at any rate to write home about. could see a 180bhp rst being as quick or quicker imo

 

ive had a few of them in the nova well annoyed they were ha ha ha

 

im waiting to meet one of the many that are on base on the roads in the mighty nova,ill blitz the fools!

 

sweet nova mate

 

Damn, you XE Nova's are starting to breed here now

 

cheers fella, www.passionxenova.com
urs lookin good too!prefacelift rules

 

was behind one on private road, and he undertook me so i floored it and nearly went into his arse end pmsl

shite.

 

ha ha ha i work at the factory in swindon and it is very funny on the way into work pushing them out the way it is such a laugh.

 

I was on the A1 with the missus doing a steady 70-80 and a CTR pulled alongside and the bint in the passenger seat flicked us the finger as we looked over. I dropped it down a cog and you should have seen her face dropped as her boyfriends CTR was dispensed with. I so wish I had had a camera with me

 

it,s such a laugh they dont exspect it then its to late ive only got about 165bhp but only got to shift 900kg.
No probs they just go through the gears quicker as they got more.

 

u may see me from june onwards then when i go back to brize norton!

 

I will have to keep an eye out for that 1 and leave it alone

have you looked here mate

 

awesome

Of course, I dont need to ask whether u flicked her the finger back!

 

lookin now,not been on that site before i dont think!

 

I just looked over as I changed down and waved before we took off

 

my mates got one,he couldnt catch me in my cossied bmw estate had a shot in it and it feels very unstable at high speeds,jumps and jerks around a lot

 

180bhp vs 200bhp normally aspirated ever heard of lag lol?

 

ever heard of torque and power to weight ratios?

 

yeah i've raced afew in my 200bhp frst, shat all ova them. they haven't got much torque.

 

whats all that about. bhp is bhp. weight is weight. lag is lag, but once its gone its gone

 

the vtec doesn't come in till 5k or thereabouts,so they dont go like shit off a shovel either

 

Ever heard of torque and power to weight

 

Couldnt keep up with me in a straight line in my ibiza, not all that

 

Ever heard of corners. You bunch of straight line fairies

Type r's arent that fast in a straight line but as a complete standard package, handling, acceleration, braking etc theyre damn good car's. Prefer the old ek9 though.

 

he never asked that,if topic was they handle shite or something then you may have a case but it was have you raced one there not quick for a 200bhp motor,not the dont handle for a 200bhp motor,you dont need a high bhp car to race in corners,i'd beat an escort with my pedal bike

 

read my post again and you'll notice i said they arent that fast in a straight line, i've made it bold so you can see it. Therefore I replied to what the topic was about. so a big to you. If everyone wrote the same thing it would be a very boring read.

 

Which model CTR we talking about here? I'm sure the civic aint that heavy isit?

 

Big fave of mine

 

civic are all boy racer car's down my way.

1 trys 2 say that hes done 160 in forth gear and they belive him

 

Type Rs dont go anywhere till 5K RPM,, so they are almost
'laggy' anyway lol
by which time even the laggiest RST has clean fukked off down the road.

 

Got loads of boys round here driving with daddies money in CTR's...Literally loads.

Had a few blasts with them when i was running 235hp, std ones i'd of left by 3rd/4th gear but raced a silver one that had some mods (exhaust, filter and chip i think he said) and it seemed to bite much quicker in power terms, took a lil bit of catching but had him past 100-110.

Overall very good cars must say

 

sense at last

 

BHP sells cars..................TORQUE moves cars

 

So how does the pug compare to the mondie Tiff?
