pmsl, in comparison to your cossie etc, its slow.

in comparison to what a skint 20 year old is used to (i.e my s2 with all of 150 bhp ) its fast

i just didnt expect a 20 year old car that seems to weigh as much as a barge to shift as quick as it did.

No, I mean compared with your car.

Its only got just over 200bhp and is alot heavier than your car. Suprised it felt fast to you. I presume it was an auto as well?

saying that, my s2 has been offroad for the last 3 months, and ive been driving around in a sheddy xr3i cabriolet since then, so anything that gets from 0-60 in under 15 seconds will probably feel fast

it is an auto, first auto i have driven, may have added to the illusion

They're quick, but not massivley quick if you know what i am saying?

It's also the kinda car you'd be scared to thrash incase it fell to bits, although that might just have been my experience with one!

Drinks fuel though at a very alarming rate. Single figures to the gallon when booting it put it that way.
