My car look stock from the outside, that ds3 looks stupid with the dish wheels lmfao! I couldn't compete with a 911 Turbo, they're so fast just squat and go! Always aspired to one, the launch oh my, beautiful car! Probably the fastest road car, I've seen stock ones beat a veyron on a 1/4mile

I've always found these type of threads very foolish.
Yesterday I was driving my 991 GTS when a Ford Focus RS tailgated me for a mile or two before screaming by-
I assume the owner now believes a Ford Focus is faster than a GTS?- all very silly

Never you mind

383 Bhp DS3? Are you driving the WRC version?

I got blown away by a 320D the other day in the turbo. Well at least that is what he will tell his mates wink

It's not a stock car haha, if someone organised a drag strip or track day I would love to attend, just let me know when and where, can't wait for this, will have to bring the 300+ BHP DS3 Club with me smile
Hi Dave,

I will be attending Santa Pod on Saturday this weekend (4th July), would be good to see you there in your DS3.

Have a few cars coming that you could race.

The other day I was in my car and this bloke in a Toyota Avensis was tail gaiting me and flashing his head lights (I was in the inside lane)

This went on until we got to some traffic lights and he pulled up beside me revved his engine and said "If you are not going to thrash it then sell it" Then wheel spun away from the lights in a cloud of smoke.

All very odd.

I think these 'I beat a faster/more expensive car' threads are probably the most pathetic thing you can do on a car forum. Not to mention saying what car yours is, but then failing to mention it's modified.

OP is a fantasist. Reckons has a Mustang, 911 and a 300bhp DS3.

If I am at a set of lights with a merge ahead, I find a blip of the throttle before the lights go green ensures that the boy racers zoom off in a cloud of fumes and buzzy exhaust, allowing me to take off at my usual speed, for an uncluttered merge smile.


I wonder how many of them think they've beaten me? Or does it still count even if you're not trying?

Oh no, all your gassing about is 0-60 hate to tell you but that's not everything, try not too get blisters from licking your launch control either, the Macan is not aero, not dynamic & SO heavy, I'm running 382BHP and 364lbs/ft of torque with only 1060kg, see you soon
Not sure what is more amusing, this thread or spending the kind of money (or any money at all) you'd need to to achieve this kind of figures from a stroen

These days I am much more evil. No blipping or revving, I just let the car start to roll forward ever so gently. Even had one chap stall in their haste to dump the clutch to 'beat me away' from the lights.

Very precise figures, very nerdy. I'm sure it's very fast in a straight line but st to actually drive and no doubt it will blow up before long. Reminds me of last summer when I was cruising along an empty dual carriageway in a Cayenne Diesel and out of nowhere this complete retard came screaming up alongside in a blinged up Impreza like it was the start of the Indy 500. Not even a young bloke either, a balding 40 something year old. Just reminds me what pricks there are about on the roads and the OP seems like one of them for sure.

Here are my 5 top tips for achieving a little more girth:

1. Race people at traffic lights if it's approaching a pinch point even better
2. Tell everyone about the spec of your car if you can get tyre pressure into a conversation always a bonus
3. Spec up a crap car so it's still crap but you can kid yourself it's desirable and impressive by saying things like "it would beat a veyron in such and such conditions"
4. Be a dick about someone else's pride and joy when they have done nothing to deserve it
5. Always remind the world about how big a man you are

Follow these top tips and you too can add an inch I guarantee it. I just measured mine and it's huge. I'm off to tailgate a Boxster in my clio (the Aerokit adds a whole Bhp so watch out ladies)...

:biggrin:



Being a member of the "small na screamers" cult in the land of the v8, traffic light grands prix have never been a favourite of mine frown, but it's surprising how many see "red car : must race" smile

I'm sure he'll be along soon to state that the WRC version "only" has 300bhp and he could beat one of them too.

Since he was asked to back up his claims he's gone very quiet...
