So guys, what is the quickest 'real' world point to point car you have driven?

For me it has to be an EVO, I have been an EVO owner for a month now and have I have had a full stage one install and re-map. It is blindingly quick at covering ground, especially on the back roads! I can't wait to take the car for an Autumn blast to North Wales and the EVO triangle.

Look forward to hearing your choices smile

I thought they crashed it?

Not sure, they probably did though.

ETA: the one in the police shots was in an accident.

Que VAG clone hatch brigade in 3...2...1... biggrin

I also expect two phrases in this thread:

"Real world,"

And

"Cross country"

Seriously, there's still not that much to touch a well driven FQ360. The size and the driver focus still make them cars to be reckoned with.

Is the image still questionable?

My Caterham.

Easily quicker than anything else I've owned. (And that includes an Impreza, an FTO and a 205GTi)

Good shout, but raining and bad surfaces? British weather?

Evo all day long.

Wouldn't an FQ400 be faster? Just wondered why you said FQ360 even forgetting about other cars.

No offence meant - just trying to learn the reason.

Torque spread is wider IMO.

Width might be relevant! The 2016 WRX STI is 1740mm wide, against 1810mm for the Evo X, bracketing a Mk 7 Golf GTI at 1799mm.

Then again, a 205GTi is 1572mm wide, so with a 1.9 16v conversion...

nobody's forcing the Caterham driver out in st weather to become his fastest point to point car

or, hows the EVO in British congestion? wink

Suzuki Ignis Sport. I'd be surprised if it's possible to go faster on UK roads than you can in one of those beasts.

Hows the Caterham in the same?

Not much congestion near me.

Anyway, what's your suggestion? I missed it.

I agree I also have a caterham and its right up there for a good B road blast , and it would take something seriously quick to get near it , throw in a heavy downpour and I am not so sure it could compete with the evo , not on my tyres anyway , I guess 4wd will always win on damp roads .

Depends on the driver but a killer combination is a Brabus with 300BHP.

Problem with Caterham as a pure point to point proposition even in dry conditions is low driving position...unless you are on perfectly flat ground you can be on the power much earlier in cars with better visibility of the road ahead.

No you didn't, Im still trying to decide if 'real world 'point to point' means, every day use under all 'British' conditions.
