What's beaten you in your C....?

[Jay2]

Still smarting, after two days!

Was done good and proper by a M*ndeo TDCI on Sunday afternoon.

The shame.

Therapy required.

Or chip & pulley.

Last week i was being followed and could not pull away from a Nova and i was going for it!!!

Only time i could get some distance on hime was in the corners so i have a feeling that it was a bit nose heavy due to a transplant of some description, i wouldnt care but it was a bag of s**t to look at...

you can fart in a nova and it adds performance , they weigh feck all, doesn't take much to get 160bhp per ton in them.

i had a porsche 911 turbo pull away from me at the weekend then he slowed and settled down at 110mph so i kept my distance

JAY2 don't be to disheartened man. Them diesels are feckers. Was the only thing i kept away from when i had my GT4 (255bhp).

GOLDIE I remember years ago being a passenger in my mates Nova 1.4SR (the face-lifted ones with the lower ratioed gears) and we had a do with a 1.8 valver. Was embarrassing for the C i'm afraid to say. We got to a ton and we were just loving its rear bumper. The Nova was stock as you like, but i think those gearboxes had a lot to do with it coz they took off like a scolded cat. I drove a pre-facelift 1.4SR and it was pretty pants.

I had a Focus ST following me very close behind. Was trying to bully me with his big old 5 cylinder engine. Was holding my own through the corners though . Think the most shameful one was some ghastly little mini that forced me into the slow lane so he could get past. I hate those things!!!

Fairly recently a chavved up Saxo VTS with 2 passengers. Typical Corrado, as the speed went up I was starting to stretch my legs and reel him in but we came to the next roundabout and I ashamedly took a different direction to save further humiliation. If he'd had no passengers, he would have thrashed me. I take solace in the fact that at 176,000 miles his Saxo will probably be a rusting hulk in a scrapyard somewhere, whereas my Corrado is soldiering on

When it comes down to it, we're not going to be much competition to a car that weighs as much as a shoe and 120bhp

[skinnyman9000]

Alot, its a valver

[junkie]

yep VTS and 106 GTI are basically as quick as a G60 standard.

It´s all OK for me, but...

Isn´t there a similar thread in this section?

I think the other thread is the other way round - "Whatcha beaten in your Corrado".!

Had a bit of a tussle with a DB9 a few months back. Think I must've been in the wrong gear or summat, cos he seemed to pull away a little

[LisaK]

Not beaten as such, I'd say more equal as neither could accelerate past each other but it was ashamedly a Fiesta RSt (not sure if it was tuned or not, though)

[Dogzyboy]

Lost out to a Mini Cooper S a few months back, only cos the missus started screaming at me to slow down though!!
