I also had fun beating a red CTR a little while back, roling "race" on the motorway.
I hate the cars also, would never buy one there are far far better cars for the same price IMO.

Then there is another roundabout which takes you onto the long straight, went around that roundabout at a sensible speed & then once he was also off the roundabout I floored it He tried to keep up bless him but the bread van just didn't have the minerals to keep up with the poxy little Corsa  
I've noticed that when you have a race with most cars they'll give you a th=umbs up afterwards. Never has a single CTR driver done this, kinda says somethings about their owners. Esspecially after their ego has taken a beating
Ah well, hope he liked my number plate  
PS- Robbo is the only sound CTR driver ..........ever  )
He he good goin matey Thank you for the... er... plug at the end as well

There IS no better car than a CTR for the money... like for like (i.e. both brand new with the same intentions) there is little close and nothing as good

Two in this car park, one grey one black.
When I got in the boss CTR I was suprised at how plastic it feels inside, much like the Corsa C's.
I would'nt purchase one or even own one if it was given me, I would sell and buy a Astra GSi. But I have to admit R-Tec's one looks pretty special and I would own that.

I cant beleive you just said that!
to be fair though, they managed to sell it for more than the price of a brand new CTR

R-Tecs was lovely 
Yes CTRs are common but thats NOT actually a problem, theres a reason why u see so many CTRS and so few of its rivals... remember that

cant believe you made this statement, the astra gsi is better in every respect, far more tunable not down on torque, i found out how pathetic ctr's were watching them beaten up the strip by steves gti
the clio cup is also another example of a better car, and so is a leon cupra r the list goes on
