I'd love you to point out the flaws. I think the basis of that statement relies mostly on your lack of knowledge than anything else. Glen will argue ALL day regardless of how wrong he is, and so will I, and I can guarantee someone with more knowledge could come in and rip apart every post made...

Ah-Ha. Fair enough. What you originally said was that you could tell the difference and that you lost traction between 320ft.lbs and 332ft.lbs. Thats nonsense. However, I fully agree you can tell the difference between the N75s. The N75J is a much more aggressive delivery of said torque. So in...

This is interesting, exactly where are you getting the 320ft.lbs vs 332ft.lbs figures? Worldsmostaccuratedyno ltd? You are saying that 12ft.lbs difference, barely 4% difference in torque and you were able to see the difference in it breaking traction. 4%!!! The dyno is likely out 4%. How did you...

I'm talking about one specific person above, Chris Harris. Evo magazine are well known for being, shall we say, economical with the truth about their tests. They have a 'best FWD hatch' feature coming soon, tested on the Nurburgring. However, everyone there that weekend saw them do one lap for...

My internet keeps breaking.... Anyway, regards your 911 vs Cayman comments. I suggest you read last months GT Porsche, or refer to Chris Harris' Drivers Republic website. Professional drivers (Chris Harris drives a Porsche in the VLN) disagree with you, they think the Cayman is an all round...

Very good video on slip angles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APxkBs4DkN4

I refer you to my previous comments regarding rear engined German cars. They bring out with a mid engine layout and suddenly its a better drivers car, handles better and stops better than every 911 ever made. Simply because it has some similar parts, in that a 3.4 engine, similar horsepower and...

Could you in any 320Bhp car? Normal fast driving and physics dictates that you never apply power mid corner, you brake for the corner, then power out. Think of Club or Farm on Silverstone GP. Especially if its tight, like a roundabout would be. Something less tight you would turn in and treat...

Nope, thats why I specifically prefixed the comment with 'according to Chris Harris' who was writing for Autocar and now runs Drivers Republic. I was quite specific it was according to the press and not my own knowledge.

My point was that its even less of a sports car than the M series BMWs or to take your example, the R32. I can see the Cayman being the 'drivers car' in future, the 911 has been plagued by this insistence to remain rear engined, then in 2009 they release the new Cayman with a LSD, 320Bhp and...

Correct, an M3 isnt a tarted up 3 series. The engine couldnt be more different, it has a totally different layout, individual throttle bodies, .4L more and over 100Bhp more. The suspension shares NO common components with the 3 series, the alignment is totally different, it has staggered...

Erm, yes it is. What makes it different from an A3 Quattro sport for example? Apart from one number on the turbo..... Ooh, and piano black inserts.

Stretched rubber is for idiots. don't you like safety, grip, or being able to corner? Thats what I have to say on the matter.

Looks at location - bursts into laughter.

Who has the Nazi numberplate? Bwahahaha, not sure I'd want to be seen anywhere that wasn't Derbyshire with S3 BNP as my plate!
