For comparisons sake my old XE in full road trip hammers my mates Teg Type R.Not only from 0-60 but from 0-60 then as far up as the road goes.Or as far as the F20 box goes.Whatever came 1st.
Even sitting at 70 then going for it when he tried to overtake,he got owned.Quite a few times to the extent hes now put his DC2 up for sale to fund an XE Corsa/Nova.
These DC2s really are over-rated for straight line speed.

Fast = top end, Quick = acceleration.

Gas Mark 4, top shelf FTW!

Seriously though my mate has a body shop near my workshop so I just run it round there stripped and ready to be prepped, I'm going to do the bumpers, mirrors etc. in my workshop at the same time so it gets done quicker
