ben_frst

my dad was into fast bikes and cars im just taking it to the next level lol

limited power due 2 age tho

Paddy

I only wish I did own a fast car.

Simon

I dont

simon

Rhys

The buzz of it when it comes on boost, goes RAH and fooks off!!! IMO its great!!

and as Deno said all of above

Rich_w

Cos I can. I drive hard and I need a car that will keep up.

What I dont get is the people who own performance cars but DONT drive them hard ALL the time. You might as well have a 1.1 Fiesta.

Rhys

Or prob cos they dont want to lose their license

I meant what are your reasons for owning/wanting one, just interested


And I put those as ideas

Deano

When you getting a fast car then Rhys ?

Billabong

Don't drive mine hard through built up areas etc..

Cos I like my car, don't really give a flying **** what anyone else thinks, it's my equivalent of 20 B&H and getting ratted at the weekend

Deano

But theyre my reasons

Paddy

I want one because I can pull up at the local spar/londis/one-stop [delete as appropriate] and try and pull 16 year olds with perky little handwarmers.

Deano, Fair enough i put them out for ideas/maybe reasons to get people thinking


paddy1977,

Rich_w

You know what I mean.

But there are people who just own the cars for the status, not what the car can do. I pass many performance stuff on the way to work in the morning. All steadfastly doing 70-80 in the middle lane.

Poofs!

Hofajoab

just for fun basically... don't get up to much else exciting and i need transport, so exciting transport- makes sense.

i have a beat up old sierra so respect for me just doesn't compute

It was a childhood dream to own an rs turbo ever since i got a run in my brother's mates one back in school. It was the excitement of turbo lag and then whooooooosh, pinned to your seat that did it for me

Now my dream is a saph cossie

starturbo

Ive had em since 1987.rst1,rst1,cozzie 3 dr,rst 2,rst2 and finally rst2.Grown up with them really but in addition when someone pees you off you got a chance of nailin them back.

I just like to know I'm quicker than the next guy. I like wiping the smiles off peoples faces in so called prestigeous cars.

I also find the quicker my car gets the less I feel the need to prove it. For me driving a faster standard car wouldn't give me the same feeling as the car I currently have, which is why I have no intentions of parting with it

Wouldn't really class my S1 as a "fast car" with only about 175bhp, but it's certainly quick. Main reason I bought her was cos I get a rush when it comes on boost. I enjoy the acceleration, and the feeling you get overtaking and shutting other cars down. I actually didn't buy it to show off or try and look good, but that does come into it a little bit - anyone who says 100% they didn't buy it to attract attention is a liar.

I jsut like the feeling of loading it up in 2nd and third and surprising other machinery on the road Even on an empty road I get a lil rush when ya pulling 4-6k rpm at full chat in 3rd/4th gear Then I lift off, hit the brakes, then do it all over again

My S1 is certainly not fast!! Responsive but not fast....esspecially as I won't rev past 3k while it's running in.

Rhys

Well my Derv goes quite well when it comes on boost

And for the cossie it aint fast as if i went out in it, it would have to be flinstone mode atm.

AD-RS1600i

I own both a standard S2 and a RS1600i, so I can't really answer that question

Cos they look cool, is probably my excuse!

weegaz22

because its a mode of transport that i can carry stuff in, i have a s2 with around 170ish bhp...reason i bought it? because i wanted to

have a bike for when i want real speed

Stavros

All of the above i spose, but the FAST bit is for ME, i like racing, only reason i have FAST cars is to kick peoples ass.

If i didnt id prob have a slower but posh/cool car

Stoned

Because you can embarrass BMW owners in the right hand lane of the motorway and on the sliproads

Nothing pleases me more than owning a BMW in a Ł5k car. The looks on their faces is always priceless.

Obviously this doesnt apply to the M series which are quicker than mine, but the ordinary ones. I swear every BMW driver reckons they have a supercar even when it's a crappy 1.6

cossies4eva

the whole point of owning a fast car is to whoop the ass's off subaru owners

TILLIO

AMEN
