Unexpected "wins"
Discussion
I'd say the op has made a big mistake of a silly post. However, like others have said, the 205 xs is a great little car, id hazard that round bends and what have you, it would be more competition, still lose, but ultimately stand a better chance.
Do think its rather funny to see people crying out that the op is childish then come back with the quite harsh stupid posts in reply. "EURO s
t BOX" "fk YOU JUST CUS YOU CANT AFFORD ONE!!!!!" "IF ONLY YOU HAD A GOATEE LIKE ME!!!" and the like. Jus' sayin'

A while ago I had a traffic light Grand Prix with an 07-plate BMW M5. I was in a '91 Peugeot 205 1.4 XS.
Considering there was a £30k difference between the value of our cars, I was pleasantly suprised to find that he got to the next set of lights, about 300 metres away, just 3 seconds before me. The look on his face in his side mirror was a picture. Was his marginal extra performance really worth £30k more?
So it got me thinking, has anyone else suprised much more supposedly 'powerful' machinery around town?

Absolutely worth it.Considering there was a £30k difference between the value of our cars, I was pleasantly suprised to find that he got to the next set of lights, about 300 metres away, just 3 seconds before me.

As for 'just' three seconds, are you joking ? If there wasn't a set of lights 300m away, you wouldn't even know which way he went.
As for the look on his face, it might have something to do with the level of noise you made with a 1.4 engine trying to keep up with an M5, who probably didn't realise he was in a race.

I'm sure the 205 XS is a really fun little car, but suggesting it's only marginally slower than a 500bhp BMW M5 and that the difference is justified because of a large price differential is laughable. I don't think the argument about it potentially being a badged-adorned M Sport stands either... a 520d would also hand out punishment to the little Peugeot.
Is a Veyron any less impressive because it costs loads of money? Of course not.
