Did you know that the mk4 R32 does 0-30 in the same time as a Jag XJ220? Not many people know that. They really do fling themselves off the line to begin with then the weight and lack of torque start to show (I ran an R32 for a year).

On the chav thing - had some semi chav bleating on about a remapped Octavia vRS being quicker than a 335d. Despite my many FACTS (I don't know why I bothered) he still wasn't having any of it and posted up some vid of a remapped GTi "beating" a 335d (which was driven by a complete muppet) to "prove" his point. He also told me that for most cars, the 30-90 time is around the same claiming his mate's 996TT couldn't outdrag a B5 (standard) S4 from 30-90.

Sometimes it's just not worth bothering. For some bizarre reason though, I can't help it!

Why let facts get in the way anyway huh?!
