Tim off here's Corsa did 100 in the 11s, his mates Nova did it in the 10s, and other mate did it in a high 9.

And thats with FWD poo traction versus RWD and mega fat tyres awesome traction the rarri wold have.

Also take into account it bet its MEGA hard/impossible to equal the Ferrari book times, as it wouldve been done by a Pro who had countless attempts (if it happened at all).

So yes, the Ferrari would get absolutley fucked over IMO.

Raced one 3 up out of a round about with PHILZVH and the Mrs not long after the car was set up a couple of years ago. A few miles up the road when we'd slowed down for the next round about he caught up and gave us a big smile and wave.
Sounded though he was giving it the big one too us, but maybe he bottled it. All good fun though.
