Not one for racing!

Took the Tuscan out today nice as always.
Had a Audi RS4 right up my Arse! but the oil temp was to low to gun it.
Caught up in traffic a bit later (oil temp 60+ by now) open road Audi pushed it a bit but no match at all for Tuscan!
love it again now.
Had to share.

Evo 10 wiped the floor with my Tuscan I think his 4wd allowed him to put the power down earlier on the roundabouts

That maybe the case, but you lost in style..... Not a lot out there quicker through te bends than an EVO to be fair

Pick your battles my friend, or know their weaknesses and when to attack.

RS4's are easy pickings and a healthy Tuscan will easily see one off.

Evo turbo nutters a different story, however make sure he's behind you, goad him into having to back off for a second and fall off boost, then boom, he's a speck in your mirror. Works every time

And if you look at the top gear power laps the Evo X and the Tuscan post virtually identical times. Within a hundredth or so.

In my defence the road was a little greasy so I had to feed in the power after the roundabouts whereas he could floor it.

Once he was ahead I couldn't make him drop off boost.

Plus, I am not a driving god and I spun the G33 on the self same stretch in similar conditions so maybe I was being cautious.

Wise. You'll be far more embarrassed if you plant the car!

Good point. Just about anyone can jump in cars like the EVO and be flattered as the ESP, TC takes over when things get tricky. In the tuscan you need skill to take over. So I avoid these situations

Nice straight piece of dual carriageway, I was just eeking away from a 996 Turbo...I was pleased with that
