thats the whole point, everything is relative, its all well and good saying 'you should try a fast car' to then rods car isnt anything compared to a top fuel dragster, we dont all live in a world with 200mph cars and close to 1000bhp, its a brilliant achievement but for fucks sake let the people who 'only' have 300bhp etc enjoy their fun. pretty soon anyone shy of 700bhp is gonna be embarrassed to post because 'his rodliness' doesnt think your car is worthy

Why is this getting over complicated? <Modified or not is totally irrelevent in this case. The Masarrati driver in this case assumed it was an old Ford and therfore insignificant and was promptly shown otherwise. That imho IS the point and why I love my old Escort. So many people under estimate what it is and what it can do. Certainly there are a good few cars out there that have shown me a clean set of back tyres but then I've equally humbled a good few as well

It never fails to amuse me that people on here seem to have some sort of inferioritycomplex about themselves and/or their cars.

How on earth do you come up with the above reasoning?

Maybe the Maseratidriver simply felt like driving faster than the car ahead of his, regardless of make and model?

Maybe the Maseratidriver simply misjudged speed and distance?

Maybe the Maseratidriver spotted an iconic car and wanted to provoke it to 'race' to see what it could do?

Some people can afford very expensive toys, others can afford less expensive toys.
No need for the first group to look down upon the latter, but certainly not the other way around either.

P.s. Rod is a cunt.

Got to say people like rod make a forum like this I know he goes on and on and on but that's the part that makes this community I respect the time and money he's put in to his car sumthing to be proud off I guess I know he comes across as belittling people maybe he is a twat I don't know.but rod u gotta respect that a cossi smashed a mire expensive car and I love that fact when I look at my little fezzy turbo I fall in love every day again for me it's all about the simple things that make me happy and I'm sure there a few people that think of there car in the same way

Your mate's probably never said anything as I doubt he's ever come across anything that could give him a run for his money.

If you want fast, I think Keith Cowie did around 13s to 200, but I don't think that was a road legal skyline.

Tbh mate my mate dosent care he can go and get in his 1000hp standard car and have fun.. Hes not a washed up top speed guru thats living on the same merit for the last 5 years because he cant get his car right to run or because his tuner is on holiday etc

That skyline must shift any vids mate?

Rod= Boring, yawn inducing old man who needs to grow up (no pun intended lol), god you come across as a total cunt on here.

Does your car HAVE to come into every single thread about a cars bhp/performance/top speed, you talk at extremes when they really aren't relevant whatsoever......how is trying it on with a veyron mildly comparible to a 400bhp maserati that the guy was talking about

Rod...serious question....what is deemed to be fast and powerful for you?

I've seen you turn your nose up in threads where people mention 300-400bhp and say that's not a proper fast car. I mean seriously on the road what more can you want?! 300-400bhp is fucking PLENTY on the road!!!! I mean my little Focus has only about 150bhp and it is a hoot I love driving it and can reach silly speeds if I want it to. So why would I ever need more than 400bhp?

youll probably find the maserati driver did no such thing as "provoke" rs lozworth, he was just driving faster/in a hurry.

just because its usually a CHAV/idiot up your arse looking for a race when you drive a quick car doesnt mean everyone up your arse is out for a race.

Nope sorry.There are some on youtube of him running 8s 1/4s. I've just checked on his stats and I got it slightly out.

Further stats from the data logging show that Cowie achieved 0-60MPH in 2.5secs, 0-100MPH in 4.35secs, 0-150MPH in 8.09secs and 0-200MPH in 14.75secs all in the space of half a mile.

where shall i begin???

for a start, your the one full of bullshit about your really fast escort rs whooping everything on the road. and you dare to try and lecture me about spouting bullshit?? come on now fella, stop before you make yourself out to look like a complete cunt....

you clearly didnt read my post before your anger and keyboard warrior rage took your fingers to the keys.... Where have i called the masserati driver a CHAV? I havent....

just because its usually a CHAV/idiot up your arse looking for a race when you drive a quick car doesnt mean everyone up your arse is out for a race
now where does that say or imply the masserati driver is a chav??? your grasp of basic english is worse than i thought.....

oh yes and "maybe the masserati was racing" maybe not..... again maybe he was just driving a lot quicker than the escort because he was in a hurry..... Again not everyone you meet on the road driving faster than you is "racing you", even if youve decided to keep up with them.

oh, and where have i said having a bit of a play makes you a CHAV?? oh yeah, thats right, i havent

and again its pure speculation that the guy in the masserati was shocked. He may well have been, he may not. Shocked perhaps that for some reason a old escort he was overtaking decided to boot it and keep up with him, shocked that someone was bothered enough to try and keep up in the first place, shocked that someone was tailgating him before slowing down..... hell we will never know will we

So because its a Maserati that means the owner will not even acknowledge the cosworth or dream about driving his expensive car fast?

I've had a Jaguar XKR come hoooning up behind me, he pulled along side me and started egging me on, obviously I didn't even bother, so he tucked in behind and followed me into the next petrol station and chatted to me about how nice he thought my car was, how he used to have one etc..

you shouldn't be so classist lol

lol i've never met rod. But i recognise his input, if you built a cos that would beat rod's or even break the 200+mph you would also been recognised. But all you do is talk like your living a scene off the fast and furious. Then you start using expletive's for no reason appart from the fact you probably think it makes you "gangsta" innit bruv!

If anyone is just joining in (like me) then read all this thread, its really good!

I say well done for booting it and "winning" !

I am starting to feel sorry for rod now as every post i see him make, it seems that everyone hates him and is calling him a cunt.

Plus i see that the maserati driver may have been racing or just going fast or what ever.
Maybe off the roundabout he was going slow and made you feel fast?

Im not starting just saying!

Alsoooooooooo if someone is up my ass or overtaking everything

ITS GAME ON


Yeah everything is a race when your 21
