I followed a young lad in a Fiesta ST along the back roads. to the next town
His car was lowered, fitted with really wide wheels, stretched and covered in stickers.
I easily kept up with him, even on the bends and despite his "hard" acceleration I was easily able to match it.
The thing was I wasn't even trying. I was still returning about 46 mpg the whole way, and no where near the limits of my car cornering or accelerating.
His engine must have been redlining most of the way and despite his lowered car it didn't seem to corner all that well, judging by how much he had to slow up and the grinding noise it made along the way at times.
Perhaps he was having more fun than I was?! Maybe!
