LOL listen to you lot!!
I am Mat's friend, This was my third visit to the ring, but only the second time driving it.
If any of you have been to the ring you will find that it is the German/Belgain/Dutch tuners test ground, lots of very different cars where there. Look up
http://www.pistonheads.com/porsche/default.asp?storyId=18901 GTstreet named desire, was testing there, Audi's own matt black R8.
The S3 in question assed me on the uphill section from Bergwerk to Kesselchen, which is where the power and torque comes in, my Impreza is 346bhp and 370ft/lb torque so pulls quite well up hill, but this thing completly blew me away!!!! came past me like I was stood still, My mate that was passengering said I was pulling about 130mph at the time and still accelerating, will pull 145 near the top if you dare!!! he just flew past me. When we got back to the Car park we went in search of this at the time all i knew is it looked like a S3. When found it we asked the owner a few questions but his english was not good, he said it was 650ps, he did not have sufficient english knowledge to tell us much more, to be honest he was not that friendly LOL think he was thinking ****** english get out of my face!!
Looking round the car it was virtually standard looking, but had Pirrelli corsa tyres on and was a good 50mm lower than standard. It had very big brembo brakes and discs looked like 8 pots front and 6 pots rear but could not be sure, it was also fully caged. The owner was probably mid 40's. The way it came past me I had no doubt he was not Bull Sh!tting. There where not stickerd what so ever on the car claiming to be from any tuning company.
PS sorry for the slow time round the ring but fast times come from experience and with 79 bends to learn i wanted to return in the same car I went out in unlike ohters!! We brought back to the UK 2 british lads the crashed there Clio 182!! dangerous but awesome place
