Pretty sure this used to belong to Rob E, I'll try and have a check.
Edit: Nope, checked and it's not the same one.

So you haven't actually raced he just told you it "felt" faster?
Because I took a friend out in my VXR at Xmas and he spends a lot of time in another mates Audi R8 and he said my Astra feels quicker, now there is no way on gods Earth that it actually is quicker its about perception and how it can actually be screwed by the rawness of a car.
My mates AX GT still feels like the fastest car I have ever driven.

The 1.7 CDTI sris are slower than a milkfloat though.
My money would be on a Corsa Sport.
