pin Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nice cars, I had the Cupra R for a bit, same engine as the TT, built like a golf (it is a golf). Quick, just too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Pin, yes an australian tuned vauxhall sounds just the thing. if I wanted boring " anyone can buy one " then a BMW or jap ***p fits the bill. And when the hell was wanting a car that sounds like a Spitfire going to come second to having one that sounds like a Jap Zero a better option ? Fair comment on the noble though Does having a big spoiler like the Evo make up for the fact its still a video game players car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Evo's look better than Scooby's, but i like the scooby sound. Personally i wouldn't buy either. It's all down to were you can take it really. Been in a mildly modded 350+bhp Evo but what can you seriously do with that? It's a bit like reaching climax in 2.6 seconds, sure you enjoyed it but your bird hasn't even done her seat belt up. Unless you put it on the a track then it's a waste of cash if you ask me. If i had to stick my neck out i'd put my money on an Elise 111R, it just has to be good fun wally car for normal weekend use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Markio, one point to cars like that, overtaking. That's what my Evo did (6 GSR @ approx 400bhp/wheels). You could pull off some ludicrous overtakes in that. I presume the people I overtook thought it was cool too, the number of them that waved, flashed and beeped at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the poke to do that sounds great but in reality your just then stuck behind someone else. It drove me mad. Sure my best effort was only 196 at the wheels (proper wheel drive only 25% loss of power ) but too much and it all we start to think we drive rockets cars, yeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa, 5 car overtaking manoeuvre. Hahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
