Yeah true but then you've done bits to yours haven't you? Plus you're stripped out that accounts for alot against a 1500kg car lol
Like Eck said if we'd been rolling then I would have got past you alot easier lol but it takes it's time getting it's big lard arse moving :-)
Yours is a good example of how good they can be once played with
Yea true mine has had stuff done. Lol. It does surprise alot of people

Nice edit For the record, you'll keep up with a standard bugeye but throw a few hundred quid at it and it will mop you up and down the road.

Loved mine was a lot of fun and did keep with VXR's/ST's up to certain speeds but then they would start to pull away.
Try and get one with an LSD if you can makes a huge difference to cornering ability.

Rather than rely on tales of who scalped what, drive one and see what you think.
I was on track with a stripped out, C20XE'd Nova last year. Passed and pulled away from it.
That was in my 320Cd knowing I had to drive it to work the next day and with a passenger.
There's always gonna be someone whose "beaten" something. Just try it for yourself and see if its got any grin factor.

Well said.
Plus sometimes a car that's slower but more rewarding is a much better than a car that's just fast in a straight line.
