Must have been a fake... :wink:

I've driven a WRX, and my C2 would never catch it if it was being towed by it. Scared the willies out of me.

They're about 260BHP, 4WD... perhaps he was like me - a scaredy-pants. :D

haha probably.. ah well good story tho.. the wrx had a dump valve and sounds like he was hamering it.. he was gutted bein chased by a B reg white BMW.. haha


Strange tho.. cos my C1 is really quick ive been up against a FTO GPX and they are like 197bhp and ive been pulling away..!!

what do u think? stick it on a rolling road.. the engine is very sweet and it pulls like mad at about 4000rpm

Yes I recognize it, below 4.000 it is ok-ish, but above it pulls & pulls, love it when taking it from 160km/h to 200km/h
