not really come up against anything on the road that has kept up to be honest
i think people get a massive shock when i blow them away in my volvo, not really come up against anything on the road that has kept up to be honest not with 353lb ft torque and 311bhp @1.3 bar boost can run at 1.5 bar if i wanted. midrange acceleration is awesome on these motors 60-100 in 6 secs
What are the standard figures? What's the power to weight ratio as well?
I dont want to start a "fight" but if you cant find anything faster than 311bhp (regardless of torque) you havnt been looking much
Id say that applies to RS4s as well
(lights touchpaper and retires discretely )
I have mates with t5's or r's with over 450bhp they are serious machines and regularly do track daysI agree, my RS is more powerful and lighter and no doubt quicker than your T5 but I have come across quicker things like a 450hp Evo 6, and a turbo'd astra gte that was silly quick.
Do those Volvos go around corners well. As mine had stupid torque steer?
"A good handling car simply goes where you point it.”
Contrary to popular belief I think sheer speed have very little say on the grand scheme of things. Because once you know what 0-100mph in less than seven seconds feels like, most people guess would choose a fun car over a fast one every time. I would
ill nominate the renault 21 turbo
i nominate a ford capri 3.2 v6 lol
Imo neither of these cars are underrated they are both well known for their capabilitiesin all seriousness now my favourite underrated car is either a vauxhall monaro vxr or the toyota sprinter trueno ae86! two massively underrated cars
you just mentioned a car that is way underrated is the NSX!
My wifelet's brother has a Punto Abarth and it's great fun to drive. Though he wont let me anymore after I showed him how to powerslide around a roundaboutFiat 500 Abarth - stunningly fun in a go cart fun kind of way. Never thought I'd like it but was really impressed.
