Should I hang my head in shame or not?

A 250HP FW 1.8T A4 will see off an Astra VXR from a standing start

Hey guys and gals i agree with what you say it was a stupid thing to do but at the time i just wanted to get away from the three big lads that wanted to FUBAR me i very rare take it to 75 and that is on a clear road and trust me my bro got a gob full from me and my mother when she found out,,,

dan1973 sorry to hear about your son i know where you are coming from my father was also killed by a boy who was racing so i should know better that one reason why i have spent so much money on learning to drive more safly.

all i can say is we all do silly things at times that we regret and speeds like that will be left to private tracks ( as it was this time )

byzan no probs its good when u guys go all nerdy (SORRY FOR THE WORD) its nice to learn things about stuff like that

Sorry guys wont happen again

 

[dan1973]

No prob's now go and stand in the corner face to the wall for an hour

whenever I hear the term 'private runway' it reminds me of this http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/26/airstrip.car.crash/index.html

I remeber that. That was the guy bragging on a public forum the day before or whatever wasn't it?


No worries Tazzy, i hope you get your car up to fully operational soon.

Tazzy, Ref your last, thats very noble mate. Fair play.

My 300+ bhp S4 wouldn't exactly murder an Astra VXR. Quick cars. My Astra GTE used to destroy them though.

Think my S4 Avant is circa 1520 KG (no sunroof/satnav/electric heated seats/Bose or anything). Nearer 170 bhp per ton on stock power http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=21769

Ye craigs figure for the S4 seems high, 1500 was the figure i had in my head. Check the service book!

The B6 is up around 1600-1700kgs though.

 

[CraigG]

kerb weight from 1535-1680kg according to wiki, i just took worse case senario.

 

[jcb]

with one exception. Lotus Carlton

 

[S4twiggy]

my S4 is 1515kg kerb weight

not fussed on them VXR astras, like JCB said its still an astra. they are a quick car though but id still go for a 1.8TQS A4(B6)

the A470 is a dangerous road which im on every day, police all the time and accidents every day, tut tut

+1. Most would've given us (/me) a torrent of abuse in reply, very few would be big enough to respond as you did Tazzy.

Faith in humankind restored. No hard feelings?...
