Speckys Tigra just ran a 9.8
I've just heard from someone at the Pod that Specky has just run a 9.86 1/4!
Is that the fastest fwd car now ?
Fair play to him, superb time

Are you trying to say the fastest 4wds are slower? I thought they were quicker years ago?

I think the point is that there aren't many comparable 4wd cars that can beat that time. Norris' 900bhp Evo
only does low 9's.
Sub 10 second from a FWD is bonkers.

0-148mph in under 10 seconds is a shocking stat on it's own

I agree it's very impressive. (although I've never been that impressed with Mr Norris tbh.)
