if you know your RST is quicker than your focus then you already know your going to beat him - easy money really.

Should be a good day out at Santa Pod for you both

PT

your mate in the vectra sounds like a cock lol , and it shows that he hasnt been in many fast cars if he thinks a 1.8 vectra is fast

if the RS can make it to the end of the 1/4 without breaking it will win

if not ..it wont

Your S2 will waste it.

I had an SRI 2.5 V6 vectra and and was lethargic as fuck through the box. Only thing he will get you on is top end speed.

N1ck

mate why are you asking what to do....when its go...wait 5 seconds...then go....overtake and still win by a mile...that will make a joke out of him.

i have a 1.6 16v astra and you have to strip it and add a air filter before you get anywhere near what vauxhall reckons they can achieve...the lag and dead spots throught the rev range is shocking...and newer cars just get heavier and slower! haha!

TrevCannon

If it was an 2.5 it will fight ya rs proper hard! i had my mates & other ppl with 2.5's & they will push ya rs tooo the limit! (without throwing a rod )

so in other words pocket that £100!

david

Your escorts must be proper slow mate if one of those big 2.5 buses is keeping up !

N1ck

its a v6 too right? hmmm must not be as good as it seems...loadsa extra weight in an endine which is pointlessly v6 when it would do better as a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder surely? pah vauxhall

david

No the 1.8 is a 4 cylinder. weve wandered way off track and are talking about the 2.5 v6's now.

N1ck

sorry david

yeah but the 1.8 is what...no more than a 110 brake...maybe 150 if you work on it? that against an rs...pah no competition

Benni

what's that bollocks about 'methane in the exhaust'? it's fart-powered, huh? bulls**t powered maybe.
jog on, mate.

Jog on? Why would I do that when Ive got a 1000BHP Vectra that does 55MPG and never brakes down?

AFPMSL! I shall reply next..

hilarious

VECTRA's are slow even with V6, a 1.8 in a barge like vectra is easy picking for an RST, take his money, and his street cred, sorry it's a vectra he doesn't have any!!

got to be the old " drive level with him, let him get half a car infront so he thinks hes home and dry, then blitz him "

Saying that, an RST against a vectra on the strip what will win? It depends really, be interesting to see what makes it further up the 1/4 mile, can the RST that will no doubt eat its own engine manage to roll over the finish line before the vectra completely oxidises away?

If no one manages to cross the line, the winner should be the one closest to the finish ( but you prob won't get any times, they only start to measure after 60ft). Be careful if it is windy though, it might be in the right direction to carry a few flakes of vectra rust up the strip.

Make sure you say that if either car breaks it's off

foreverwhite

these threads are ridiculous

"my mates got a 1.0 metro, and ive got a 6R4, he said he could beat me, which one will win?"

etc etc

Unless he has changed the engine, even a standard RST would hand him his arse.

Agree to the bet, and insist you both give the 100 pounds to a third party to hold onto.

Just to make sure you dont fluff the start and lose out when you should have won, make it so you both spend the day at the pod and whoever gets the best time wins, as your car is likely to be less consistant that his, so more goes is in your favour.

mk1_orion_boy

I wouldn't even bother! Not even against a 2.5 one! What a waste of petrol!
Then again is yours likely to wheelspin in most gears from a standstill?

So you wouldnt want to earn 100 quid driving your car 400 meters?

i have had many vectras and never raced a single one
but once on a motorway in a 2.0 16v sri tourer x reg, i had a
cock in a 1.6 focus undertake me after going through roadworks.
i put my boot in and the focus sailed past undertaking.
i stared at the badge it said 1.6 and looked newish.
after that i just see anything less than a v6 as not very fast

turbo

bet him log book to log book then see how much faith he has in his car, imo even the 2.5 gsi vectra's have a hard time keeping up from the same brake powered rs turbo's. think you would piss on him.

drsrst2zvh

well my s2 has a zvh in and this week alone ive dusted a impreza wagon and a vr6 golf i know its not worthy of a trophey but if i can beat them im sure you will beat that vectra, unless it has a supercharged v8 under the bonnet

rs shawn

If it's deffo a 1.8 then you will have no trouble beating it. I currently own a 2.0 Vec and it's nowhere near as quick as an RS. Slow off the line and very heavy car in comparison.

If you want to show him my reply, feel free. He's either saying it to get a bite from you or he's deluded about his Vec's speed and prowess.

nilrem

or you can allways be the not bothered type... and just ignore him... then see what happens, by the sound of it he will up the bets and take the piss, then agree when he gets into stupid money and agree to have it held by a 3rd party... then leave him in the rs... return to collect your money and wait...


then be dead cocky by counting it from about half way... so when he retuns it looks like you have been there for ages!

s2 ben

is this thread serious you cant be that sure about your rs if you have to post you should waste him i would probably have a go in my daily runner and thats a 306 td

BM08

at this thread, hello its a 1.8 na now go and collect your 100
