Mazdas are trick however my rx8 feels very slow and disapointing after getting off the triumph although I did go for a ride in an rx7 the other day that made the triumph feel very slow

it was 400hp at the wheels though! quite petrifying in a car that weighs a little over 1 ton

i drove a rx8 the other day last sat, found it okay hated the rx7 series 6 i got to take for a spin a while bak but was surprised my the 8, then i drove a gti golf about 10 min after found that more fun turns and stops like nothing else :-)

Prefer a new gtr but havnt driven one... yet

great point.. im with you on that. only difference is i hate there cars as well. they researched a pathetic little engine that still breaks and sucks a fat one.

if i was to own a quick car give me a blowen v8 any day.. goodbye jap shit.

back to the point tho. my hyo i went up agains a heavily modded turbo pulsar, at the first set of lights i gave him a little to show i was interested. at the next set i tempted him with a glance and he gave a rev of his car back.. so i nailed it when the light went green, i heard his turbo spool up...then some valve bounce as he thrashed his car, faintly heard his BOV as he changed to second and by this point i eased off and looked back to see i was a good 3-4 car lenghts ahead. quite a nice win i thought.

Yeah right, Rotary is only Jap manufacture engine that won Le Mans 24hr, it's lighter than V8s, its compact than RB26DETT and it revs more than VTEC.

I think EVOs and WRXs waste blowen v8s in corners, but probly you can catch up in straight. But then modded GTR and Supra would do 350kmph+ and RX-7 is nicely balanced for both

but yea people do have preferences and nothing can beat Koeeeeeniiiiiigsegggggggggggggg (caparo T1 would but then it's not street legal).

Nice victory for you against Pulsar!

I need more power to keep up with standard Corolla lol

Can I have a go on your 8 and Triumph?

Gti is nice little car, hot-hatches are always nice. Practical and fast.

We were neck and neck up to 90 kph then I backed off figuring he would pull way ahead anyway at higher speeds. Considering I was slow off the mark and never came close to red lining, I was surprised how well my Hyosung did. Later that day a hoody in a Subaru tried the same thing and I beat him clearly. Don't know if he realized I was an old guy on a little 250 but if he did then he must have felt like

crap!

So how has your 250 done?

My guess is that RR's would beat any cage (up to 90 or 100 kph) but what about other bikes?

hmmm what about a RS250?? wounder how that would go lol

**quallman1234** · 27th August 2008, 21:46

I have beaten a fair amount of car's up to a 110, on my trusty RG150. In fact i haven't lost. But i know how to pick my fights

I was just thinking that, should take my NSR along to the drags when its all tweaked/put back together, i guess it comes down to torque, though it should be ok once its rollin and them powervalves kick in

What's your nsr putting out? stock- that would kill any turbo car up to 350hp, late 300's...

and breaks more than all of them in real life, i'm not sure if its just there drivers dont take care of them or they do just suck but i have a couple of mates with 7s one series 4 and another with a series 6 and they both havnt lasted on the road longer than 3 months before some thing breaks.

course the WRX and evo would destroy in corners (well you would hope so) but drag strip acceleration and 1/4 times i'd back a blowen v8

as for one the road.. i dont think ill be driving a car again!! sooo

i owned a GTB legacy with just shy of 300HP and it bored me senseless, bang for buck and full on experience and adrenaline

etc bikes are the way to go. but obviously i dont speed on my bike or cue jump or anything illegal

**NOMIS** · 28th August 2008, 09:41

Go the STI's funny how on paper Evos are meant to be better from my experiances with both cars Subarus are nicer to drive have nicer interiors and go harder,,, weird Gota love the subys , 3 of my past mates now own subys because of me going on and on about them 2 of them used to have evolutions, A guy I know still has one he spent 60k plus on and said not long ago he wish he started off on a suby.
