Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct.

You can see why the Police had them tbh!

Awesome performance - my Dad had a 2.5 AWD 850 and that was quick!!

fair enough..... but most of the cars it over took looked to be lettign it past.... not really a true indicator of either cars pace.

Not saying its slow.

the cosworth was fine, knowing that allthough it was circulating at a slower pace, it is still far cooler

nothing else really seems to be going for it....

392bhp isnt really superpower.... if you catch my drift.

a 400bhp volvo tank wouldnt fly past those cars/bikes if they were flat out.

And.... another point.... isnt 400bhp a bit 'ordinary' from a 2.5 or whatever it is turbo?

Have you ever driven round that track
I certainley haven't and I don't think your qualified to make a judgement till you have done a lap yourself with all that traffic etc. can't be easy
