Maserati Quattroportes are slowwww
 

I thought these where reasonably quick.....

Thought i would get the escort out for a plod around then just driving along minding my own business and he came steaming up behind me on a dual carriageway then overtook me on a roundabout and as you do i thought i would put my foot down and from 30-70* off the roundabout i had to keep lifting off or i would have rear ended him!!

He was not happy

:top::top::top::top:

:grin:he must have felt like an idiot.

I love it when a ford shows up "superior" cars :top::top:

Wait for it.......

what i loved the most is he started it, i would not have done anything if he hadnt have come steaming up behind me

Lol, I bet he though get out of my way I'm quicker than you, only to have his arse handed to him.

was it one of these...only got 400 bhp...:cry:
pencil shapener power these days...:cry:

Good lad. A good old ford nacked a posh t**t in a posh car.

drove one yrs ago and was very dissapointed, the only thing its got is the noise....

:cry::cry::cry: Would he be on here if the t**t had been in an Enzo or a Veyron. Why not try it against a fast car bud.

405 bhp. 0-60 mph- 5.1 s . Still proud you beat it a Standard Escort would have given it a good go on the street. Its a GT not a fast sports car.

Rod why dont you just back off? You and your 800hp is fast yes but stop belittling everyone else who has a lesser powered car. :king:

You must have a really small penis to bully people like that.

Rod you sound like a broken record.

I'm with rod on this one, the posh car will probably be a standard car from the factory, take a standard esc cos against the posh car and the escort will have it's arse handed to him!!

any car can be made to go a lot quicker than it did when it left the factory!!

steve

....and there it is lol.

Thats not the point.. the point is no car is worthy of rod and he blatantly shows that with most posts.. So what if a guy in a escort had a blast with massarati and won.. It gives you a sense of pride when a 5k escort can beat a 60k masarati.

i bet the mazza owner was up for it but the poor car probably threw a eml up or the gearbox went all Italian on him :boxer:

anyway im still happy with it, i had my boost set at 1.5bar i reckon i only had 315bhp at the most, oh well his car only cost 82k according to that top gear vid :)

rod you are a cunt

But.. would what about a Lambo?

Can't argue with that lol

+1

i can stand people like MO RS turbo on the forum as what he says is generally just banter or a bit silly (no offence matey ;) )

but Rod you just come on every thread about speed and claim that anything that wont do over 200 at brunters is a pile of steaming shit.

i have massive respect for what you have done and what you have invested but you have an attitude problem.

remember rod!!

Your saff was standard once upon a time ;)

anyone remember this .....
i think the only person so far to beat a lambo!

trying to find the video...

yea Rods car can eventually hit 200mph but he wasnt the first to do it!
nor can he even get into the top 5...

i reckon the reyland escort would piss all over it! how about a battle lads?

Thank you bud it saves me explaining it. Not all of us can afford posh cars.

and sorry if my 5k value offended you was just a random number :oops:

lol i was gonna say!!! haha :king:

my bad :oops:

Joffy likes this lol

Like so?

cant see anything :cry:

thing is rods point is bang on. He hasnt mentioned his car in this thread...

all this highlights is that lozworth should probably read up his car top trumps a bit more often as on paper he would have won on power to weight and torque delivery anyway.

warren your off the point.. Rod reckons hes the only one with fast car.. iv got a mate that have cars that will eat his for breakfast :cry: He owns a veyron but you dont see him going on about going against a real fast car :cry:

Well done for beating him but tbh I'd much rather have the Maserati. Same goes for Rods car, yes it's a great statement of what you can desperately squeeze from an old Ford but at the end of the day its still just an old Ford. An old LP400 can get beat by a good percentage of the cars on this site, I'd still have the old Lambo over many of those cars though.

Or maybe it highlights the fact that he has a life and has no time or desire to be researching shit like that? At the end of the day, he raced an expensive car in an escort and beat it, I'd be happy too,

where has rod said that or even insinuated that??
at the end of the day he kept up with a more expensive slower car.

Well done loz :grin::grin::grin:

you mean the Maserati driver should do some reading up as it was him that provoked the "lozworth"?

nail on head!

the way i read this thread is loz is happy that he handed "Mr i've got a 80k car move your shonky ford out the way"'s ass to him and i don't see how anyone (except rodderick) wouldn't be a bit happy at doing the same? surely that's where the buzz of owning a modded car comes from?

Hate to say this but from what I've seen Veyron 0-200mph is around 24.2s. Rods in an old spec 0-200mph I've seen is 24.5 (he can correct if need be). That's not eating by any stretch of the imagination. In his new spec I'm guessing the only thing being eaten might be your words.

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.
